I want us to move ahead on this. To summarize:
When you update a port, drop the converters/libiconv and devel/gettext MODULES and handle libiconv and libintl like any other library dependency. make port-lib-depends-check will help you. If your port requires any of the utilities from gettext-tools to build (typically: it runs something like "msgfmt -o foo.mo foo.po"), you also need to add devel/gettext-tools to BUILD_DEPENDS. I'll see if I can remove the gettext-tools dependency from some common build dependency paths. Like for the recent cleanups in the wake of the vax removal, I'll be the little mouse that keeps nibbling away at the edge of the moldy cheese. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
