 Replying to [ticket:20769 ora.et.labora@…]:
 > I would expect that at least a warning message is shown during the
 installation that one needs to make sure that 'mcrypt' is enabled and how
 to do that (port install php5-mcryp for example).
 The phpmyadmin port should simply declare a runtime dependency on the
 php5-mcrypt port, and the ports for any other modules it requires.
 Versions of the php5 port prior to 5.3.0_1 had mcrypt support always
 enabled, but it was recently moved into a separate module port along with
 many other modules. See #19091.

 > The second issue about that the blowfish secret needs to be set and each
 and every offical documentation tells us to do so by editing
 config.inc.php. This file would be created during an installation either
 manually or automatically. This port really sucks in not following the
 official way - this file does not exist. If this port decides to follow an
 alternative route, then for heavens sake, please document this proper!!
 The port does nothing unusual. It simply copies the phpmyadmin files into
 the right place. It is the user's responsibility to set it up correctly,
 which includes creating and editing the config.inc.php. It wouldn't hurt
 if the port printed a message explaining to the user that this file must
 be created (if the user has not already done so).
