            Bug ID: 190816
           Summary: tiff should provide a -x11 binary package
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: anarcat+freebsd at anarc.at

it has always been disturbing to see the tiff package install a bunch of x11
libraries when installed. this is especially frustrating in pkgng, because it
seems impossible to install any package with some kind of dependence on tiff
without installing those libraries.

i believe that the "tiff" lib should be x11-free, and there should be a
separate binary package for tiff+x11 (named tiff-x11).
