myports.txt vs requested.txt

[Michael Newman]

I decided to compare the ports found in myports.txt with those in requested.txt.

I figured that every port in requested.txt should also be in myports.txt.

But, that’s not the case. Requested.txt contains only the following ports:

ImageMagick
clamav
ffmpeg
gstreamer010
gstreamer010-gst-plugins-base
gstreamer1
gstreamer1-gst-libav
gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad
gstreamer1-gst-plugins-good
gstreamer1-gst-plugins-ugly
ipcalc
libsdl2
switchaudio-osx

It doesn’t include many ports that are in myports.txt, such as curl, wget, and dnsmasq, all of which I know I specifically requested.

Why is that?
