#56959: librsvg: building requires rust compiler
----------------------+----------------------

Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: librsvg
----------------------+----------------------
Newer versions of librsvg (≥ 2.40.0) require rust compiler and cargo for
building. This is a rather large dependency including llvm which is not
always desirable to have installed, especially if it is not needed
otherwise. Many ports depend on librsvg and thus suddenly depend on
rust/cargo/llvm for building, even if there is no rust code in their
codebase.
Because the newer versions of librsvg are ABI-compatible with the old
version that only required a working C compiler, it would be nice if the
old version was provided as a variant.
