Do we want to use .xz distfiles for ports that otherwise do not depend on archivers/xz?
$ cd /usr/ports/distfiles && ls -l transmission-2.12* -rw-r--r-- 1 naddy wsrc 4224230 Nov 19 18:33 transmission-2.12.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 naddy wsrc 2341100 Nov 19 23:22 transmission-2.12.tar.xz We've been there before a number of years ago, when bzip2 started to become popular. If we want to use more .xz distfiles, should we drop the gettext dependency from the xz port (--disable-nls) to minimize the dependency tree? A complicating factor is that xz requires at least gcc3 to build. (The code is full of declarations after statements. They didn't slip in accidentally, the author purposely uses them all the time.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
