The addition of the MUTT_LITE knob is fantastic; however, use of this knob no longer allows an administrator to build a "lite" version of mutt _with_ support for multiple character sets (such as on our systems). I propose the WITHOUT_NLS=yes definition inside of the MUTT_LITE knob be removed; administrators can then say MUTT_LITE=true WITHOUT_NLS=true when building, which is consistent with nearly every other port in ports. I must stress this point, since MUTT_LITE breaks the "norm" in this respect. Most administrators who do not want multiple character set support define WITHOUT_NLS=true in /etc/make.conf anyways, i.e. every port on the system will not use iconv/gettext. :-) Either way, it's up for discussion. The port maintainer should be the one to make the call. Fix: If maintainer agrees, apply below patch. How-To-Repeat: n/a
