There has been a point recently made on a `freebsd-' list about unnecessary dependencies of the `xorg-server' package, it being dependent on `gnome' and `hal', for example. That's a valid point and I am with those who don't want this dependency to exist -- but at least this dependency can be somehow justified.
But I cannot find any justification for this: -------------------- $ pkg_info -R cdrtools* Information for cdrtools-2.01_6: Required by: hal-0.5.8.20070909 xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2_1 xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3 xf86-video-i810-1.6.5_3 xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0 xorg-server-1.4_3,1 -------------------- `xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0' requires `cdrtools'?... How can this happen? Am I missing something? My INDEX-7 is freshly fetched: ---------- $ ls -l /usr/ports/INDEX-7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 22876045 Dec 6 17:03 /usr/ports/INDEX-7 ---------- And: -------------------- pwd; echo ===; cat ./+REQUIRED_BY; echo ===; ls -l ./+REQUIRED_BY /var/db/pkg/cdrtools-2.01_6 === hal-0.5.8.20070909 xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2_1 xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3 xf86-video-i810-1.6.5_3 xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0 xorg-server-1.4_3,1 === -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 140 Dec 6 17:05 ./+REQUIRED_BY -------------------- Can anybody shed any light on this?
