p5-eval-2.2.5 depends on nonexistent port p5-xml-checker

[blb@…]

perl/p5-eval depends on port:p5-xml-checker but there is no such port.

I'm trying my hand at putting together a portfile for XML::Checker. It's got a number of other dependencies, though, and one of them is XML::DOM, yet another module without a portfile yet. I see a few other requests for XML::DOM, though, so I guess I'll try working on that, too...

Looks like p5-libxml-enno is what now contains XML::Checker and XML::DOM.

Hold the phone. I'm not even sure this uses any XML libraries at all. The only external modules I see it using are from Tk and bioperl, and those look like they're optional (a few of the tools won't work without them, but most will). So does this need to declare dependencies at all?

Yes, you are right. This is a mistake I made before when packaging it, perhaps because of an earlier version, but most likely because a dependent of it, p5-ipe *does* require p5-xml-checker. It would probably be possible to simply move this dependency over to p5-ipe. I am not a committer, though so i can't do that myself.
