Description Georgi Georgiev 2003-12-14 19:40:50 UTC

I am looking at what the tetex use flag does for the iproute-20010824-r4.ebuild. Quoting:

DEPEND="[snip]
        tetex? ( app-text/tetex )"
[snip]
        if use tetex && [ -n "`ls doc/*.ps`" ] ; then
                docinto ps ; dodoc doc/*.ps
        fi

It seems the tetex use flag only installs documentation, so isn't the "doc" use flag more appropriate? Furthermore, the app-text/tetex should be virtual/tetex. I am using ptex and emerge -vDUup world always want to pull tetex, which conflicts with ptex.

I have the same opinion. "doc" USE flag seems more appropriatehere and "app-text/tetex" should be "virtual/tetex" (app-text/tetex,app-text/ptex and app-text/cstetex provides virtual/tetex).
