State Changed From-To: open->feedback Awaiting maintainers feedback The problem with this is that due to licensing restrictions, we may not provide a binary package for lame, but for mplayer we can. In addition to the current workaround, i.e. a) install lame from ports, then b) install mplayer from $wherever the only way I see to prevent the problem this pr is mentioning is to exclude mplayer from binary packaging as well. As a result, it would always be necessary to build both lame and mplayer from ports. This seems even more uncomfortable to me. Edwin, is there some general policy or porter's rule what to do in such a case?

My suggestion is to make a slave-port called mplayer-nolame which doesn't require audio/lame to be installed. That way mplayer can be installed via a package without having to install audio/lame manually.
