I just noticed that xorg-libX11 was upgraded:
xorg-libX11 1.3.1_0 < 1.3.2_0
When I tried to upgrade it, groff was pulled in.
I checked dependencies of xorg-libX11 and it was true, now groff is
listed as a dependency:
port deps xorg-libX11
Full Name: xorg-libX11 @1.3.2
Build Dependencies: pkgconfig, xorg-util-macros, xorg-xtrans,
xorg-bigreqsproto, xorg-xcmiscproto, xorg-xproto,
xorg-xextproto, xorg-xf86bigfontproto, xorg-
inputproto,
xorg-kbproto, groff
Library Dependencies: xorg-libXdmcp, xorg-libXau
I wonder why a library has to depend on a typesetting package? Is it
by mistake?
I also checked changeset 59847 (listed as Bump to 1.3.2) and found
that groff was present in previous changeset 59718 already.
The version in 59718 is 1.3.1, the one that I had installed already
without groff. Is that possible that port file changes without
incrementing version number?
Sorry for too many questions, I am just confused.
Thanks, -Kastus
