Bugzilla Automation <[email protected]> has asked freebsd-desktop (Team) <[email protected]> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 250364: devel/glib20: make run-depend on python OPTIONal https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250364
--- Description --- I would like to make OPTIONal the run-dependency of glib20 on python, with a default that keeps the current status. The reason is that many packages depend on glib only for its shared libraries, and it is unconvenient to have to install 100MB of python just for that. If MAINTAINER agrees, there are two approaches: 1. just make the run-dependency optional This is what is currently implemented in the attached patch. The plist does not change so it's still possible to install python later to run glib-genmarshal and friends. 2. make the run-dependency optional and skip the installation of anything that relies on python Perhaps safer, perhaps overkill given that python continues to be a run-dependency by default and turning that off means you know what you are doing. However, if you prefer this approach, I'm prepared to implement it. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-desktop To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
