--- Comment #17 from John Hein <jcfyecr...@liamekaens.com> ---
(In reply to Mikhail T. from comment #15)
"Maybe, gobject-introspection should become part of glib20 port now, that there
is a circular dependency?"

glib is already somewhat big and required by many ports. A good chunk of what
is installed by devel/glib20 is already not needed by most ports that have a
run-time dependency (although WITHOUT=DOCS helps a lot there).  Adding the
gobject-introspection pieces will just add to that.

I understand the sentiment, however - namely that jumping through hoops to keep
two ports separate might not be worth the effort sometimes.

Most other packagers do keep these ports (glib and gobject-introspection)
separate.

Having these bootstrap flavors might not be the only way to skin the cat, but
the work is done now (thanks to the work of everyone who helped solve this
issue), so unless the other ways are significantly better, perhaps we can just
live with this one.
