texlive: port is installing leptonica and tesseract, due to dvisvgm dependency mupdf — at Version 8

Description (last modified by mascguy (Christopher Nielsen))

texlive now appears to require a number of additional dependencies, including leptonica and tesseract.

Would it be possible to trim those back?

Hey Pete, we'll need more background info. Were you trying to install another port, update outdated ports, ...?

Yes: texlive.

Summary: Port is installing leptonica @1.84.1_1 → texlive: port is installing leptonica and tesseract

Replying to ballapete:

Yes: texlive.

This is correct behavior.

The dependency tree is as follows:

texlive -> texlive-bin-extra -> dvisvgm -> mupdf

mupdf is a new dependency for dvisvgm, added a week ago, per enhancement request: issue:68646.

And mupdf depends on leptonica and tesseract.

I really do not need that stuff on an over 20 years old PowerBook. Would it be possible to create a variant that does not use this useless (?) software?
