Replying to [comment:1 devans@…]:
> I don't know about "should" but I think, theoretically, you're right
about making libvpx or any lib that produces only a static library a build
dependency. The lib dependency is not "wrong" per se as it doesn't break
the port but could be viewed as overkill.
What I meant was that making it a library dependency causes libvpx to be
installed on users' systems when it doesn't need to be. There is no
benefit to it being there, for users installing these ports from binaries.
I was just hesitating because every port depending on libvpx does it by
library dependency, and I wanted to make sure there wasn't some reason why
this was needed in this case. But I don't think there is.
