     Type:  defect                     |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Low                        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                      |    Version:  2.2.99
 Keywords:  yasm, gd2, PPC, x86/amd64  |       Port:  libvpx
---------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 The description tells:

 {{{
 Description:          A modular x86/amd64 assembler supporting NASM and
 GAS asm syntaxes and a
                       variety of output formats. It is licensed under the
 3-clause BSD license
                       except the nasm preprocessor which is LGPL.
 }}}

 so it's pretty useless on PPC hardware – except, maybe, one wants to build
 an universal binary. This is not the case for default libvpx (or gd2)
 port, so there is no reason to install it or to make standard libvpx
 depend on yasm.
