The latest git-core Portfile makes the port rcs a runtime

Yeah, that's been broken since at least April 2006:
<http://opendarwin.org/pipermail/darwinports/2006-April/033325.html>
But what exactly is broken? As I said, git-core compiles just fine
for me, since a binary called rcs, as requested by the port, does
already exist on my system. Does it not exist on yours? What error
do you see when you try to compile git-core?
You're right, it should compile just fine with a normal 10.4
install (I'm not sure if rcs, in the BSD package on 10.4, was also
in BSD in 10.3, which I think was still optional). The only issue
is that the dependency claims that it can be resolved by installing
the rcs port, which doesn't exist.
Ah, is that what it means? The portfile says "depends_run ...
bin:merge:rcs ..." Does that mean "I need the binary called merge,
and if there isn't one, install the port rcs"? I'm still muddling my
way through the portfile syntax.
With 10.4, we can definitely assume it's just there, so the fix is
simply to remove that dep altogether. Though, if you look at that
thread, most of the issues didn't seem to be of interest...
