I am relatively new to cvsup'ing port trees and rebuilding indexes. Why is it that there are non-localized ports (ports not in a specific language tree) with localized dependencies? Eg. tkscanfax is in the net tree but depends on a Japanese port? I removed localized ports from my machine to save diskspace and Portsdb doesn't work with these kinds of dependencies. For this reason I have moved to Portindex which works great. However, my curiousity is still piqued. Why would a non-localized port depend on a localized one? Thanks for your time! -- Aaron Dalton http://aaron.daltons.ca
