okay, so i might be getting on the nerves of some people with my
rhetoric
about unnecessary dependencies, and i am really sorry about that.
i just don't seem to understand why a package like chez-scheme-9.5 has
to
depend upon x11 libraries; libX11, libxcb, libXdmcp, xorgproto and
libXau.
the rest, i.e. libxml2 and libpthread are understandable, but why x11?
also, would like to know the method to find the name and email address
of
a package creator/maintainer so that i can contact him/her directly,
that
would be better than tormenting this mailing list, i think. ;-)
and is it possible to accomplish the above using the "pkg" tools.
thanks,
~mayuresh
