#38888: file: make libmagic subport
--------------------------+----------------------------

Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: file, libmagic
--------------------------+----------------------------
The file port installs both the file program and the libmagic library.
Make libmagic a subport so that other ports that require the libmagic
library don't have to also install the file program, since the file
program's output differs from Apple's file program's output, which can
confuse users, or in extreme cases, cause other ports to fail to build
(e.g. #31260). Splitting off libmagic as a subport was previously
suggested in comment:ticket:31699:4.
