Hello,
I am running -current and I'm a little confused about expat.
It was removed from the ports tree, with message expat comes with OpenBSD as of
release 4.2. Indeed I see it is in /usr/src/lib/libexpat. However it is not in
/usr/src/lib/Makefile, so it isn't being built.
My direct problem

My direct problem is building /usr/ports/devel/apr-util, which aparently
looks for expat in $X11BASE (/usr/X11R6). Since I don't have X installed
this fails.
you'll need to install xbase. the libraries from xbase are needed
for quite a few things in
Thank you for your reponse.
Furthermore, I don't want to install X and surely apr-util doesn't need to
depend on it.
it does, because it uses expat, and that's where expat comes from in
-current.
That explains the need for the 'depend' from the point of view of the apr-util
Makefile

For one: this dependency was never neccessary in the past.
Because in the past there was an expat port.
Shouldn't expat not just go into /usr/lib ?
It's part of Xorg and therefore it belong in /usr/X11R6/lib/.
And you are right about the fact that other ports depend

Really ?
I see it in extra's:
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R7.2/src/extras/
I also see perl in there. So should perl go into /usr/X11R6/bin ?

Well, OpenBSD's dual system for dealing with software ('base' and
'ports') could be criticized, but unless you want to do that, there is
no more sensible way to do this. The alternative would be to require
someone to install a port before installing X, which makes even
We still haven't enabled expat in base/, because it's not audited enough
yet... we `trust' it as an X11 library, but no-one has addressed the multiple
security issues it may have.
Yes, we do know expat is a problem... we finally removed it from ports/
because it makes no sense to build it once.
