Description The Anarcat 2014-06-09 04:10:16 UTC
it has always been disturbing to see the tiff package install a bunch of x11 libraries when installed. this is especially frustrating in pkgng, because it seems impossible to install any package with some kind of dependence on tiff without installing those libraries.

i believe that the "tiff" lib should be x11-free, and there should be a separate binary package for tiff+x11 (named tiff-x11).

Over to maintainer.
Comment 2 Dirk Meyer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-10 03:21:18 UTC
A second package will not solve the problem,
as you will end up with conflicting dependencies to tiff and tiff-x11.

For servers please add to your /etc/make.conf

OPTIONS_UNSET=X11
Comment 3 The Anarcat 2014-06-10 13:20:15 UTC
that applies only if you're ready to stop using binary packages altogether. i have built tiff by hand and if i want to upgrade it or install one of its dependencies, it will reinstall it with all the dependencies:

        Reinstalling tiff-4.0.3_2 (options changed)

Can't tiff-x11 "provide" in some way the regular tiff package dependency?

Comment 6 Dirk Meyer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-10 16:31:32 UTC
After analyzing the makefiles, the X11 libs are only used in the tools and
not in the library itself.

I split this too from the tiff port into a new one "tiffgt".

So binary packages should now work for everyone.
