Hello,

I am the upstream maintainer of the catdvi program. It is nice to see "my"
program appear in the FreeBSD ports collection; thank you for your work. I
would like to mention two points where the port could possibly be improved:

1. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/print.html says:

  Requires: XFree86-libraries-4.2.0_1, expat-1.95.2, freetype2-2.0.9,
  gettext-0.11.1_3, gmake-3.79.1_1, imake-4.2.0, libgnugetopt-1.1,
  libiconv-1.7_4, libwww-5.3.2, png-1.2.2_1, teTeX-1.0.7_1

This looks wrong. gmake and teTeX are required. libgnugetopt is not
strictly required (catdvi can use the getopt in libkpathsea or its own
copy), but if you want to use it OK. The others seem completely
superfluous. Where do they come from?

2. Starting with version 0.13, malloc.h is gone for good from the catdvi
sources, so you can stop hacking it out in the post-patch target.


Regards,

Bjoern Brill
