Yes, but only a bit. A package like this is pretty much unmaintainable
IMO - it should be broken down to the single packages, and then a meta
package should be created that depends on them all. However, some
packages (like dl, openssl) point to broken ports (both are available
in a Haiku installation, anyway, the former is even part of libroot.
so).
Besides that, I think we're abusing the optional package mechanism,
anyway, so it probably doesn't matter anymore what stuff we add there.
It's just a sign that we really should get our real packagement
solution implemented.
Bye,
Axel.
