* From: Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@cup.hp.com> * Well, the file is officially installed by one of the rpms and may be * used by Linux native tools. A link containing the version number and * pointing to that file is better. The link may point to anything for that * matter. We might as well create a new file then. On second thought, * forget about it; it's not worth it :-) Ok. We'll worry about it when need arises. :) * > You mean there aren't any ports that depend *only* on linux_base that * > needs the libraries (or anything else that it contains) for building? * * Not the libraries; ldconfig. Don't get too caught up on the thing that's in the first field of *_DEPENDS, that's just a mark to trigger the installation of the port in the second field. *Any* file from linux_base can be used as far as I'm concerned. * If there's a port that depends on the * libraries during build, it probably can do the work at install time as * well (or of course add a proper BUILD_DEPENDS). For a default setting, * BUILD_DEPENDS could be empty IMO. * * > For instance, isn't there something that will run its own binary * > installer, that needs shared libraries? * * Yes. StarOffice, IIRC. But this will be covered by the RUN_DEPENDS, * right? Yes, if it's run in the install stage. I shouldn't have said "binary installer". My question is, is there any port out there that uses anything from linux_base in all stages up to the build stage, other than those that use compilers from linux_devtools. If the answer is "none" or "only very few", then we can take out the BUILD_DEPENDS. If there are more than two or three, I'd prefer to put the BUILD_DEPENDS there as well, since that will make the USE_LINUX variable much easier to understand.
