package are nice, but hwo do they handle flavor ? because I installed a system without X, and each time in try to install (by ports) a new software, it tries to compile it using X, and thus fails. are package compiled using standard choice, thus using X I don't have ? or are package built in a more intelligent manner, like based on what's already installed ? (If you want to send me to a man page I didn't found, please do ;))
