serf0 @0.7.2_3: buckets/ssl_buckets.c incomplete definition of type 'struct bio_st'

Build log (attached) shows in buckets/ssl_buckets.c

serf0 is really old. Could you use serf1 instead?

[rseichter (Ralph Seichter)]

I did not choose serf0 myself, it was referenced during port upgrade outdated.

> port echo depof:serf0
apr
apr-util
openssl

Not much I can do about that, or is there?

[yan12125 (Chih-Hsuan Yen)]

Hi, depof shows what serf0 needs. If you want to see what needs serf0, the following command is a possible way:

port dependents serf0

[rseichter (Ralph Seichter)]

> port dependents serf0
serf0 has no dependents.  

Weird. I did not install serf0 manually, and nothing currently installed on my machine appears to need it. A vestigal dependency of subversion, perhaps?

> port dependents serf1
subversion depends on serf1
subversion-perlbindings-5.26 depends on serf1

In any case, I uninstalled serf0 for now. It might not be worth investigating this any further, if serf0 is indeed not used by other ports anymore.

A vestigal dependency of subversion, perhaps?

Most likely. subversion switched from serf0 to serf1 some time ago (1). In this case the old dependency will not be removed automatically.

It might not be worth investigating this any further, if serf0 is indeed not used by other ports anymore.

I believe that is the case as no ports depend on serf0 now. I will propose to remove serf0 in the future.
