Comment (by rjvbertin@…):
Who is *you* here?
Currently the portfile indicates that it doesn't install libraries, and
that appears to be true.
I don't think it's a particularly good idea to split up the package in
this case. There are times where I appreciate Debian's way of splitting up
things and wished things were done the same way in MacPorts, but most of
the time it just adds extra work. Remember that Debian creates split-up
packages *after* building the full project *once* (I presume Arch would do
the same). MacPorts doesn't allow that kind of efficiency AFAIK.
I'd be in favour of merging the +yacc variant into the main port, and also
wondered about the examples. In fact, I'd be in favour of moving the
examples to a variant; most people are probably not interested in them
anyway because they install bison only as a result of some automatic
dependency. (And most who do use the application won't need examples
anymore.)
