In other words, ports already installed at the time of the introduction of the tag could have been handled differently from those installed later. Also, some ports that seem just meta-ports to install a bunch of others (like kdegames4) should IMO, if explicitly installed, tag all the ports they install that are not just build-time dependencies as requested (if they don't already - I don't know when the tag was added, nor when I installed kdegames4).<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 10, 2021, at 01:13, Randal L.
