Description Matthias Andree 2003-12-06 15:40:02 UTC 
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.

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
