make package: missing packages (not depends_target issue)

[Cem Kayali <cemkayali%eticaret.com.tr@localhost>]

Hi,

I compiled many softwares from source using 1 month old pkgsrc collection.

I certainly (without any exception) typed "make package" during 
compilation. I had almost clean mk.conf, only some 
"acceptable_licenses+" lines.

Today, i noticed that:

"pkg_info -u" produces ~70 packages.
"pkg_info" produces ~300 packages
"pkgsrc/packages" has only ~200 packages.

So, i searched through documentation and found that DEPENDS_TARGET is 
required to have "build-depend" packages: 
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/configuring.html / DEPENDS_TARGET: By 
default, dependencies are only installed, and no binary package is 
created for them. You can set this variable to package to automatically 
create binary packages after installing dependencies.



The reason for asking your opinons is that there are "runtime depend" 
packages that are missing ie; pulseaudio is great example. Pulseaudio 
was installed during compiling of gnash, and it is certainly runtime 
dependent.

Could it be the reason that "make package" does not package subsequent 
packages once it encounters with "build-depend" one (assuming there is 
no DEPENDS_TARGET in mk.conf)?

Best regards,
Cem
