That would guarantee scripts to be non-portable. Apart from that, rsync's parameters are mostly filenames and glob patterns.

So we would have to identify > and explicitily add dependencies to some ports Or build a different package of popt, e.g. popt-no-gettext (like psutils-a4 or cvsup-without-gui) Regards, Brian.
