Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 mailing list
<x11 at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 238906: graphics/mesa-dri: enable building without LLVM
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238906



--- Description ---
LLVM is a huge beast. Of the 353 ports installed on my VM (running X11), llvm80
amounts to 45% of the total disk space used in /usr/local - over 800M. However
I don't need it as I don't run any accelerated X. Can we add a (close to)
trivial option that avoids RUN_DEPENDS and BUILD_DEPENDS on devel/llvm80 and
just does CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-llvm? That would also dramatically reduce
compile time for this simplified case.
