#51009: Remove the subversion as a default variant of nmap -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: wyuenho@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: nmap -----------------------+-------------------------------- As a continuation of https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37343 I'd like to request nmap to remove subversion from its default list of dependencies. Since 37343 was technically fixed by introducing a variant, I'd like to open this ticket for discussion. The reason to request this change is to have MacPorts build an nmap like most major Linux distributions do, to align with common expectation. As far as I can tell, CentOS, Ubuntu and their related distributions do not build with subversion as the default. It's only used for nmap-update, an old closed- alpha project that barely anyone uses, according to one of nmap's authors. https://twitter.com/bonsaiviking/status/710561647765499904 In addition to this, the subversion port also brings in 12 direct dependencies, all of which are unnecessary for nmap to function. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51009> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
