Subject: Re: ports/19398: fetchmail lacks a dependency

Synopsis: fetchmail lacks a dependency

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: sobomax
State-Changed-When: Tue Jun 20 05:55:22 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
It's not a problem, but "feature". The dependency was intentianally omitted
because fetchmailconf is viewed as addon. This has been done to prevent users
w/o X11 from installing X11/python and Tk just to run this script.

The more "right" solution, though, whould be to create new port, which will
install just fetchmailconf and will depend on Python/Tk. Please feel free to
create such port and use send-pr to submit it.

Thanks!
