Description Nils Johannsen 2019-08-22 07:56:26 UTC 
The port www/gitea depends on the full git port. The git port includes gui parts whoese require python, so that git depends on python. Therefore the memory footprint of gitea will become more than 250 MB in total.

But actually gitea only needs the essential git components whose will be offered by the git-lite port. In that case only a few dependencies are left, so that the memory footprint of gitea will be less than 120 MB in total.

Changing the dependency from git to git-lite follows more the idea of gitea to be very small and lightweight.
For small machines, embedded device or sometimes also for jails this memory cares.

gitea depending on full git:

I've already tried the functionality of gitea and it works fine so far with only git-lite:
# doas portsnap fetch extract
# cd /usr/ports/www/gitea
# nvim Makefile
- RUN_DEPENDS= git:devel/git
+ RUN_DEPENDS= git:devel/git-lite
# make package
=> gitea-1.9.1.txz

The only disadvantage I've determined: git-lite conflicts with git.

I think the package dependency change is a show stopper, if only because it will violate POLA.

Until pkg can handle this kind of "multiple" dependency, I think the Gitea port should stick to the established git port/package dependency, even if it pulls in more stuff than strictly necessary.
