Hello.
Just a rant, not for ports@.
I am installing OpenBSD 7.1 right now; this is only a VM, and
i want to create / manage ports there.
Until now whenever i wanted to do this i had to install xbase,
otherwise the port makefile complained some. (I am afraid i have
forgotten the details.) Is this still true?
So you want to "create/manage" ports in an unsupported environment.
What is the "problem" you are trying to solve?
This is 2022. Hard drives are measured in hundreds of gigabytes
for tiny drives.

I think you have a problem with perspective here.
All of X (not just xbase) is about 300MB, and just isn't worth
worrying about today. What you save by skipping it, you will
more than make up for by trying to fix the problems you will
make for yourself.
