Generally, people install gnome via x11/gnome2-lite, but this ports contains too many components what I don't need.

So, I tried to only install a few components from the dependencies.

From the Makefile this meta ports will install the following ports:

RUN_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/gweather-applet-2:${PORTSDIR}/x11/gnome-applets \
gnome-audio-profiles-properties:${PORTSDIR}/audio/gnome-media \
gnome-dictionary:${PORTSDIR}/deskutils/gnome-utils \
eog:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/eog \
gedit:${PORTSDIR}/editors/gedit \
gnome-terminal:${PORTSDIR}/x11/gnome-terminal \
gnome-session:${PORTSDIR}/x11/gnome-session \
gnome-system-monitor:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/gnome-system-monitor \
nautilus:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fm/nautilus \
${LOCALBASE}/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/user-guide.xml:${PORTSDIR}/misc/gnome-user-docs \
${LOCALBASE}/share/sounds/question.wav:${PORTSDIR}/audio/gnome-audio \
${LOCALBASE}/share/themes/HighContrast/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:${PORTSDIR}/x11-themes/gnome-themes \
evince:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/evince \
gcalctool:${PORTSDIR}/math/gcalctool \
${LOCALBASE}/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/bitstream-vera \
gconf-editor:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/gconf-editor \
gnome-control-center:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/gnome-control-center \
gnome-mount:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/gnome-mount

I only install what I need:
gnome-audio-profiles-properties
eog
gedit
gnome-terminal
gnome-session
nautilus
evince
gconf-editor
gnome-control-center

Finally, I found these ports do not depend on epiphany. :e

If you install gnome through x11/gnome2-lite directly you will install epiphany, but now I prefer firefox. :P

I don't know why gnome2-lite indirectly depend on epiphany, but I think not every gnome user like it.

You are right. epiphany is useless.

You could create and submit port: x11/gnome2-ultralite
:D

At least I can mail the corresponding "porter" to delete something from the Makefile.

good Idea for x11/gnome2-ultralite
