Welcome to the glory of rapid application development and modern programming! :-) According to your question: I am confident that the SMB dependency is brought into Gimp by the gutenprint module (can't even tell you exactly what it does, may have something to do with CUPS I also don't have any use for). CUPS seems to be hardcoded into Gimp even if you don't use it (due to a normal printer). The SMB dependency is also used by several Gnome-related dependencies, such as Gnome-VFS, a part of nearly every file open dialog in Gtk. The /var/db/pkg/portname/+REQUIRED_BY file tells you about the next higher stage of dependency (maybe another library or a primary program - the thing you actually want to use). Note that observations like this are the reason you have to constantly buy a new computer in order to keep doing the same things at the same average speed. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
RE: the GIMP and Samba
There's prolly a 10 line function the developer didn't want to write. I've seen some case where it takes more code to link to other packages than just write what's needed.

It's not gutenprint (which I have installed), at least not directly. devel/gnome-vfs does have a Samba option, which is disabled here. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
