Hi again, So I was working on this and I noticed something about most of the ports revealed by the aforementioned shell incantation:
port file all | sort -u | xargs grep -El '^[^#]+:grep\W' I noticed that most of them have build dependencies which are declared like so: depends_build bin:grep:grep If my understanding of `depends_build' is correct, these ports aren't really relying on the grep port, right? Since the system /usr/bin/grep will be found first, the grep port won't even be installed so isn't this redundant? I feel like I'm missing something here. There are other ports where I can see the need for adjustment, but most of them which use the above form don't seem to need any adjustment. I would appreciate some clarification on this matter from someone who has some more experience with this. Thanks, - George Plymale II
