Description (last modified by mascguy (Christopher Nielsen))
texlive
now appears to require a number of additional dependencies, including leptonica
and tesseract
.
Would it be possible to trim those back?

Replying to ballapete:
Yes: texlive.
This is correct behavior.
The dependency tree is as follows:
texlive
-> texlive-bin-extra
-> dvisvgm
-> mupdf
mupdf
is a new dependency for dvisvgm
, added a week ago, per enhancement request: issue:68646.
And mupdf
depends on leptonica
and tesseract
.

I really do not need that stuff on an over 20 years old PowerBook. Would it be possible to create a variant that does not use this useless (?) software?

A better solution is to offer a variant of MuPDF that does not install another OCR software. MuPDF for dvisvgm makes some sense when one has no other option to convert PDF to SVG, for example convert from ImageMagic. It seems MuPDF can be built without leptonica and tesseract, but needs the gumbo-parser..
Hey Pete, we'll need more background info. Were you trying to install another port, update outdated ports, ...?
