Bugzilla Automation <bugzi...@freebsd.org> has asked freebsd-desktop (Team) <desk...@freebsd.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 276117: devel/gobject-introspection: make graphics/cairo dependency optional https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276117
--- Description --- >From upstream's gobject-introspection project, it's clear that cairo support is only required to enable some tests[0]. For people who just build this package as part of other pulled-in dependencies, or build minimal package repositories without graphics or X11 support, this unnecessary dependency on cairo brings in a ton of X11 dependencies as well. Can we make graphics/cairo an optional dependency through an OPTIONS define? One that IMPLIES TESTS support as well? If help is needed on this, I can submit a patch.
