| So, is it that a port maintainer creates `/var/db/pkg/PKG/*' files
| by hand? Based on individual ideas? Not on really "must-to-have"
| things, like dependencies on shared libraries?

`-------------------------------------------------*
And also, do dependency reports depend on the contents of
`/usr/ports/INDEX-7', in which I see:
--------------------
< /usr/ports/INDEX-7 grep ^xorg-server.*hal-| wc -l
1
--------------------
which to me implies that `xorg-server' depends on `hal' (am I right
here?)
But INDEX in a fetched file, not aware that I have "WITHOUT_HAL=yes"
in `/etc/make.conf'...
I am rebuilding all the installed ports from source now to see what
dependency chains I'll get, but I would appreciate a brief
explanation.
Thanks,
