Description
While updating an OSX base developer install image for my company, I discovered that the most recent update of the rabbitmq-server port (1.8.1_0) has incorporated a ridiculous number of new dependencies (by virtue of xmlto, I think):
jpr5@muse# port rdeps rabbitmq-server

I don't know how to make port list rdeps for any version other than the most recent one, so I can't tell you what they were precisely before. But this is a tremendous increase in required libs/progs over rabbitmq-server @1.8.1, and for a minor _0 increment on the base version, it's unclear what utility the increment provides vs. its cost.

I removed xmlto's dependency on texlive in r73294.
comment:6 Changed 13 years ago by jpr5@…
Shouldn't this result in a bump of the port-specific package version from "_0"? i.e. I'd want to installl/upgrade, then kill inactive/useless dependencies.
Or am I confused about the policy governing what should/should not bump the package version?

No you're right, this is a case where the revision should be incremented. r73307
comment:8 Changed 13 years ago by jpr5@…
Sorry to keep doing this, but I was referring to rabbitmq-server's Portfile revision number, not necessarily xmlto's...
comment:9 Changed 13 years ago by simon@…
Oh, the irony! We just finished modifying our Portfile to grab manpages from our binary tarball, and thus remove the xmlto dependency. At least this knocks out a few more deps.
