ETA: I can see now from "port deps gnumeric" that yelp is a runtime (rather than build) dependency of gnumeric. Is it possible that yelp only ''became'' a dependency with the current version of gnumeric (1.10.17_4)? Yes. You can remove that line from the portfile if you wish (you just won't be able to use the built in help). Yelp depends on webkit-gtk, which depends on a lot of other things, enchant being one.
I don't know how to edit portfiles in this manner. It sounds a bit messy.
Or actually, since you're already at 1.10.17_3, there really isn't a
need to even upgrade it to 1.10.17_4 Ah, but that spoils the simplicity of the "port upgrade outdated" maintenance paradigm. If I want to *avoid* upgrading just this one package, I have to do all the later (alphabetically) port upgrades by hand. In fact, my temporary solution has been to uninstall gnumeric altogether. I don't remember why I needed it in the first case, and this is too much hassle. I'm CCed on the "make aspell optional in enchant" ticket (#39592). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39880#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
