#19361: RFE: ruby: Let autoconf from the system satisfy the dependency ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: raimue@… | Owner: kimuraw@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: ruby ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ ruby has a dependency on `port:autoconf`. Does it really require this autoconf version, or would it also be satisfied by using `/usr/bin/autoconf`? The autoconf port requires perl5. Although perl is also required by many other ports, it adds unnecessary build load for new users installing MacPorts explicitly to get the latest ruby version. Please consider changing the dependency to `bin:autoconf:autoconf`. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19361> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
