Re: Exa port dependencies

I have long thought the doc variants should never be the default. Lots of bloat and extra deps and build errors. But I know others feel differently.

exa port dependencies
I was going to install exa; I already had the listed build/library dependencies installed; but the port asked for all sort of other build dependencies which are not listed as dependencies in the source or as dependencies of the dependencies. Is that an error in the port or is it intentional? Thanks
