Hi! I have a question about the ports. I've got a computer which is only going to be used as a backup server. As such, I decided not to install X on it. So, I went into the ports collection and deleted all the ports pertaining to X -- less stuff to keep on the disk. When I run portsdb -uU after cvsup'ing it, I got a _lot_ of errors -- because the X stuff isn't there, a lot of ports have the "dependency list incomplete". Although I don't think this is a problem, it is a little worrysome -- especially as if there were a real problem, I wouldn't be able to find it amidst all the noise. Is there some way to get rid of these without installing the x11* ports stuff? Also, please _don't_ reply to this address -- I'm subscribe to the list via a different one (work) and I'm having to use my home address right now...
