In 2006, Numeric was added as a dependency to angrydd, but unfortunately no details on why it was added.
========================================================================= revision 1.2 date: 2006/11/11 19:09:11; author: ajacoutot; state: Exp; lines: +4 -2; - add math/py-Numeric to RUN_DEPENDS noticed by steven@ ========================================================================= I'm assuming it was because surfarray from pygame (at that time) depended on py-Numeric and the game would crash if py-Numeric was not installed. These days, pygame got rid of the py-Numeric dependency and uses numpy instead. Indeed, I've verified that the game will crash if numpy is not available at runtime. Diff below fixes the port and brings us closer to being able to get rid of py-Numeric itself. ok? (p.s. HOMEPAGE is long dead, but i left it in as documentation if anyone wants to look at a cached version of the old site on archive.org or similar).
