#40596: ImageMagick: will opportunitistically link with djvulibre if installed --------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: ImageMagick | --------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by egall@…): Replying to [comment:3 devans@…]:
The majority of these are rdeps (recursive dependencies or dependencies of dependencies that will always be activated)
I still think it's worth it to list rdeps explicitly if the port actually links against them, just in case the dependency chain later gets broken... for example, when gnutls was upgraded from version 2 to version 3, it dropped the dependency on libgcrypt, and then all of a sudden a bunch of ports that had depended on gnutls to drag in the libgcrypt dependency now had to list the libgcrypt dependency themselves explicitly. It'd be better to head these issues off preemptively by just listing the dependencies explicitly in the first place. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40596#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
