It feels like the functionality in those plugins should be made optional. While I'm not a TeXmacs user I think those extra deps shouldn't be mandatory. (Adding python in RUN_DEPENDS as done by MODULES=lang/python is fine though, python is already an indirect dep as shown by make full-run-depends.) This being said, it's nice to patch plugins so they work properly once the deps are installed. I guess what you could do is document packages that the user can install to unlock extra functionality. Or maybe the UI makes it obvious what the user needs to install? > I tested dratex, graph, graphviz, python, sympy, gnuplot, maxima, octave > and pari using the built in documentation (Help > Plug-ins).

I'll try to do some testing in the next days. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
