Description
The adwaita icon theme package depends on librsvg, which in turn has rather heavy dependencies:
---> Computing dependencies for adwaita-icon-theme The following dependencies will be installed: cargo icon-naming-utils libidn librsvg libssh2 llvm-9.0 llvm_select p5.28-clone p5.28-cpan-meta p5.28-cpan-meta-requirements p5.28-cpan-meta-yaml p5.28-data-dump p5.28-encode p5.28-encode-locale p5.28-file-listing p5.28-html-form p5.28-html-parser p5.28-html-tagset p5.28-http-cookies p5.28-http-daemon p5.28-http-date p5.28-http-message p5.28-http-negotiate p5.28-inc-latest p5.28-io p5.28-io-html p5.28-io-socket-inet6 p5.28-io-socket-ip p5.28-io-socket-ssl p5.28-libwww-perl p5.28-lwp-mediatypes p5.28-module-build p5.28-module-metadata p5.28-mozilla-ca p5.28-net-http p5.28-net-libidn p5.28-net-ssleay p5.28-perl-ostype p5.28-pod-escapes p5.28-pod-simple p5.28-podlators p5.28-scalar-list-utils p5.28-socket p5.28-socket6 p5.28-sub-name p5.28-sub-uplevel p5.28-test-exception p5.28-test-needs p5.28-test-nowarnings p5.28-test-warn p5.28-time-local p5.28-timedate p5.28-try-tiny p5.28-uri p5.28-version p5.28-www-robotrules p5.28-xml-namespacesupport p5.28-xml-parser p5.28-xml-sax p5.28-xml-sax-base p5.28-xml-sax-expat p5.28-xml-simple rust xar
Especially rust is heavy to build (>20min on a i9 Mac Pro - still running while I am writing this) and I suspect that llvm causes some issues elsewhere, so I would like to build without llvm.
I am not a MacPorts expert, but I would guess that this is only required to build the adwaita icon theme, e.g. generate PNG from SVG files. Isn't it so that MacPorts has infrastructure to download pre built binary packages, so that none of these heavy dependencies would be required for someone just using the PNG images? To me installing Rust looks like a bit too much for just an icon package.

I still wonder if it is possible to declare these dependencies somehow "build only", so that most users could just download a prebuilt set of PNG files.
I agree with you, for a rather trivial svg to png converter, librsvg brings an insane amount of baggage.
there are several other tools that can do this conversion.
