            Bug ID: 259240
           Summary: devel/glib20 at  version 2.70 pulls in dbus as a
                    mandatory dependency
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: desktop@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: masuji@pm.me
          Assignee: desktop@FreeBSD.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(desktop@FreeBSD.org)

Prior to 2.68, and currently according to glib documentation,
linux-from-scratch and several other sources, it's an OPTIONAL dependency.
There's simply zero reason to require it. 

This is a regression as it appears to be a new bug to 2.70

Please rectify.

Replication steps:

cd /usr/ports/devel/glib20

make rmconfig-recursive (to clear out configs)

make config-recursive

It'll pull dbus in.
