I'm not saying that tomorrow we'll have a perfect ports tree where all and only direct dependencies will be listed, but if we don't even start... Currently we have exactly the opposite case: ports that have direct (maybe not needed) dependencies to libraries that are not recorded in Makefiles. This is the root cause of "portmaster -r" or aggressive bumps. -- Alex Dupre
