I don't think so. desktop-file-utils doesn't seem to pull in anything that isn't already required for emacs (glib being the big one, and libintl the only other, according to "pkg info").

However, the footprint seems to be just a couple of command-line programs totalling 150KB, plus manuals and an elisp file for an editing mode. I don't currently have an X-library-free build environment, so unfortunately I can't make a definitive check on that statement. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
