That's absolutely true, and it's often hard for us to know how it is for
users less familiar with the system, so thank you for sharing your
perspective on this. I agree we should do something about it.
> NOTE: This package will do a full install of PHP 5.3.6 in /opt/local,
along with (a couple of dozen ports you don't expect). If you are looking
to just port the Tidy lib go <link> here </link>
The problem is that we don't have any per-port web pages at all yet. We
only have a fairly poor search results page with some rudimentary
information taken from the portfile. We definitely want per-port pages;
that's #19300. Once somebody actually tackles the problem of creating a
per-port page system, there's a whole host of useful information we could
display on them. For example I agree that some ports have a very large
number of dependencies, and that this is not necessarily expected and so
it would be good to display in some way, either by showing a graph of all
the dependencies, and/or by just showing how many there are. Of course
dependencies can vary by variant. In any case, since we have over 12,000
ports, it's going to be something automatically generated.
