And indeed, unless you were lucky enough to have inadvertantly installed the yelp port already, the help system for gthumb does not in fact work. Attempting to use it only produces a little error pop-up saying: Could not display help Operation not supported >How-To-Repeat: portinstall gthumb ... then run gthumb and click on "Help" and then "Contents" >Fix: Add a dependency in the master gthumb port Makefile so that the gthumb port will be properly dependent upon yelp being installed. Note that this one change is _necessary_ but apparently not entirely _sufficient_, by itself alone, to cause the gthumb port's help subsystem to begin working entirely. There are other and additional problems that also need to be solved to get this working and I will report on those in separate PRs to follow this one. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
