The following reply was made to PR ports/121688; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Michael Nottebrock [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Re: ports/121688: [patch] editors/koffice-kde3: several depencancy fixes Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:39:05 +0100 The security argument is always hard to refute, but package users should benefit from improved security as well. So if you really are that concerned about vulnerabilities related to database client libraries, I think the better approach would be to factor out the kexi database drivers into seperate ports, so package users will be able to make the same choice. ___ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd

Are there any other reasons for making these optional besides leaf-cutting? There are several reasons: 1. Security - If one or both of the *SQL ports are not installed, then you don't need to follow the security advisories that are released for that software. 2. When WITHOUT_MYSQL and/or WITHOUT_PGSQL is added to /etc/make.conf, to prevent other ports from installing one or both of these ports as dependencies, it comes as a surprise to discover that your work to eliminate one or both of these *SQL ports was thwarted when installing koffice-kde3. 3. Some ports detect if one or both *SQL ports are installed, and add an automatic dependency on them (i.e. comms/gnokii (PR 121687 submitted to honor WITHOUT_MYSQL and WITHOUT_PGSQL)) 4. Shorter build times when installing the port for the first time, or using the portupgrade/portmaster tools to update installed ports to the latest versions.
