When running $ port mpkg mplayer-devel

I noticed that a few oddities are included, like bzip2, perl, gettext, which might not all should be included. Sorry I couldn't seem to easily pinpoint it further, as mpkg with simpler packages seemed to work just fine. Thanks. -r

New description: When running {{{ $ port mpkg mplayer-devel }}} I noticed that a few oddities are included, like bzip2, perl, gettext, which might not all should be included. Sorry I couldn't seem to easily pinpoint it further, as mpkg with simpler packages seemed to work just fine.[[br]] Thanks.[[br]] -r -- Comment: Remember to use WikiFormatting please. bzip2 is a compression library. MPlayer presumably uses it to compress/decompress things, so it can't be removed. You can infer this by noticing that bzip2 is listed as a library dependency of mplayer-devel, and confirm it by examining mplayer-devel's files with the `otool -L` command. gettext is an internationalization library. It is used to provide user interface strings in different languages. I don't know whether MPlayer itself uses it, but its dependencies do, so it cannot be removed. MacPorts policy is to provide full-featured software, so we don't provide an option to turn natural language support off; see comment:ticket:32304:2. perl is a scripting language. I'm not sure in what capacity it is used, but it is listed as a library dependency of glib2 (which means it is used by glib2 at build time and at runtime), and glib2 is a library dependency of liboil, which is a library dependency of mplayer-devel, so it can't be removed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32339#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
