See Stuard's response. If you want to make it permanent, you can
echo "FETCH_PACKAGES=" >> /etc/mk.conf
2) generate a list of dependencies that can be fed to pkg_add
Read ports(7)
$ make print-build-depends
$ make print-run-depends
I have been manually adding the packages based on the dependencies in
the ports Makefile, but after doing this manual process a bunch of
times (yes, I finally made a shell script), I was wondering if there
was an easier way.
If you install a package, dependencies are installed as well. If you
deinstall the package, you can deinstall unused dependencies with
"pkg_delete -a". Be aware that manually installing dependencies marks
them as manually installed and pkg_delete -a won't automatically delete
them.

Hi
Thanks for the pointers and for all the work on the ports
infrastructure. It's pretty amazing.
I was able to get my development system upgraded and all the packages
installed.
I have a "work in progress" port for freerdp. There has been a problem
with the most recent release version connecting to older systems (Server
2012, XP, etc) with the glyph cache. I noticed in the freerdp main
tree, they have disabled the glyph caching, marked it as broken and
"won't fix". So I modified my port to check the main branch (not a
release) of freerdp.
[1], [2], [3]
The patches I have (pertaining to a very strange timer implementation)
still applied and I now have a (hacked) port of freerdp. xfreerdp even
works (at a basic level) to Windows XP and Windows 7.
Along with this, I have a guacamole port running leveraging the freerdp
build and guacamole connects to the Windows XP and Windows 7 system as
well (by default, not having to disable the glyph cache in guacamole).
The freerdp port is all hacked, returning non-error values instead of
error values in the freerdp timer code (and diagnostic messages)... It's
partly to see exactly where the timer code is used.
Now I need to dive into the freerdp timer code and decide the best approach.
It's interesting working on this stuff :)
Thanks again,
Steve Williams
