Having said that dependencies often do depend on the order the leaves
are installed, because some ports will use alternate dependencies
according to what's already there. It makes things a lot easier to
maintain.

btw xdm is not the worst offender for example if you install abiword
after installing gnome it will not start but if you install it before
hand then install gnome no issue

Have you report this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] yet? The abiword port will
enable with GNOME option by default if GNOME exists in system, but
you can avoid that by use WITHOUT_GNOME=yes. You want to rewrite
ports system because of this?


It was one of several examples...

Still a bad example from you anyway, because it is not a bug in ports system.

jesus how I wish I could post some
of the private replies I got so people could see the amount of
frustration out there with the current system but that would color
other replies so I will wait until I don't get any new survey replies
for 24 hrs then I will post a summary and verbatum the ones the
orginal authors let me do this with.
