Alexey Dokuchaev <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #5 from Alexey Dokuchaev <[email protected]> --- (In reply to p5B2E9A8F from comment #0) > please make graphics/librsvg2 a port option choice Technically it is optional in Openbox, albeit enabled by default. The problem is more serious for ports where librsvg2 is not an optional dependency, and thus cannot be easily turned off. With this patch and DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=librsvg2=legacy, I can finally build Openbox again with default options, thank you Tobias. Prior to this change it was impossible because apparently this Lenovo L470 laptop of mine with 8GB RAM is not potent enough. > I could lash out for a nice rant but I'm not going to do that. I'll just say that may it be an example of why one should *not* try to rewrite popular open-source C library (which can be compiled even on, I don't know, TI-85?) in a "better" tongue that requires 100500 GB of RAM just to build itself, not to mention it being self-hosted and thus requiring bootstrap on every architecture. This could be tolerable for leaf ports, but really horrible for maintaining reusable open-source components serving as dependencies for vast variety of software. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
