To be honest, I don't think that reporting about dependencies via pkg-message is a sane way of doing things. Our ports system is mature enough to handle dependencies on its own, without requiring users to install dependencies by hand. > Second, I don't think that the pinentry > port itself is a good choice in its current state.

OPTIONS would be reasonable in this case. We can enable ncurses backend by default and user will be able to configure the port to make it use other backends he/she wants. > Can this change be backed out till there has been a little discussion? Backed out. PS BTW, there's no linimon fault at all, it's not like I put this patch all of a sudden, it was in GNATS since August, 23th, so interested parties could easily comment on it. > Doug > Roman Bogorodskiy
