Bug 255358: databases/p5-DBD-mysql: new dependencies
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255358



--- Description ---
Hi,

trying to upgrade one of my systems, I see that p5-DBD-mysql got a minor
upgrade, which pulls in 10+ new dependencies

New packages to be INSTALLED:
	p5-Authen-NTLM: 1.09_1
	p5-Crypt-SSLeay: 0.72_3
	p5-File-Listing: 6.14
	p5-HTTP-Cookies: 6.10
	p5-HTTP-Negotiate: 6.01_1
	p5-LWP-Protocol-https: 6.10
	p5-Net-HTTP: 6.21
	p5-Try-Tiny: 0.30
	p5-WWW-RobotRules: 6.02_1
	p5-libwww: 6.53

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
	p5-DBD-mysql: 4.050 -> 4.050_1

which definitely looks unexpected.

Looking a bit closer at the latest commit, I see that the "SSL" option is now
default-on - which explains the effect, because there is a dependency on
p5-Crypt-SSLeay now active

SSL_RUN_DEPENDS=	p5-Crypt-SSLeay>=0:security/p5-Crypt-SSLeay

Looking at the DBD::mysql module source, this makes me wonder if this is truly
needed.  The moduke does not seem to use Crypt::SSLeay in any way or form -
it's not listed in the Makefile.PL prerequisites, nor is it used anywhere.  It
needs OpenSSL for the C code.

So - maybe the dependency on p5-Crypt-SSLeay is no longer needed today?
