* Let's reiterate: * Nothing in hylafax calls ghostview, * if the user invokes `abracadabra' he'll also get `not found', * but hw won't get `ghostview: command not found' from hylafax. Oh, I didn't know this. Yes sure, if nothing in there calls ghostview, there is no need for EXEC_DEPENDS, go ahead and remove it. And this doesn't even have to go into EXEC_RECOMMENDED or whatever, just put in a post-install rule that tells the user that they might want it. You can do the same thing for the package in pkg/INSTALL. * I'd prefer you do that as ports-infrastructure-maestro, especially as * you have an updated uncommited version on thud, & I don't want to * collide with your work in progress. That's just been committed, so no need to worry. :) * (In fact you may prefer to implement a shorter name than EXEC_RECCOMENDED ? ) Yeah, I guess. We'll need to discuss this paradigm a little more, as like how the user is supposed to turn this on and off.... Satoshi
