Hi. Many ports that require gnutls fail if security/gnutls3 and not security/gnutls are installed. ( E.G. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=186785 ) Whilst seemingly gnutls and gnutls3 can co-exist, the ports that depend on gnutls being installed pass the lib dependency when seeing the gnutls3 install, so therefore don't pull in security/gnutls Then, the ports themselves fail to build as pkg-config looks for "gnutls" whilst only "gnutls3" exists. As far as I can see, the options are: 1) Make ports depend on a particular library revision, so pulling in security/gnutls or: 2) Replace gnutls with gnutls3 or: 3) Use a bit of bsd.port.Mk magic to handle this situation - so that if only gnutls3 is installed, the port will build correctly against it. I don't know the roadmap for depreciating gnutls2 but if it's a while yet, I'd guess option 3) is the best? Any thoughts? Cheers, Jamie
