This patch adds a LIB_DEPENDS line for popt. Please add this patch to the 5.2 ports and move the tag. re@ and portmgr@ are Cc'd -- please approve or reject. REASONS: 1. Samba's ./configure will automatically pull in the system popt if popt is installed when Samba (as port) is compiled, without registering it as a dependency. This means popt can later be removed without complaint, but this may break Samba. (Has been observed live on my system). 2. If Samba uses popt, we should use a system-wide shared object rather than letting Samba link against a local popt copy locally, to decrease the number of recompiles should there be a cricital popt bug discovered in the future. I am not aware of any such current issue, this is to increase maintainability. Port maintainer (dwcjr@FreeBSD.org) is also cc'd. Generated with FreeBSD Port Tools 0.50
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->dwcjr Over to maintainer.
I've been bugging the samba developers about how configure autodetects things and them not providing a way to disable that detection. This looks good until I can get them to provide a new flag in 3.0.x to disable configure from detecting popt
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks.
