Description avx 2011-05-08 17:08:38 UTC

When trying to `aria2`, the following gets pulled in by the ebuild, although it's not strictly needed and the application builds and runs fine without these dependencies:

app-text/asciidoc (therefore docbook, graphviz, gd, unzip, ..)

Instead of adding these dependecies by default, the ready-built documentation in the tarball should be used, if the user wishes for that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-misc/aria2 -atv
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
wonder about the needed dependencies

Expected Results:  
no unneeded cruft should be installed

Anyone working on this? If it's to much hassle, at least say so, so I can find another solution, thanks.

Hello!  If I'm not mistaked, the check for asciidoc is unconditional.  I do not see any option to disabled documentation, either.  This includes configure.ac of aria2 1.14.0.

So to fix the issue a patch for upstream is needed.
If you a willing to try to make a patch, I can help with review and guide the process.

Done in version bump 1.14.1.

Thanks, Tiziano.  This was annoying me as well for some time, but I unfortunately have to confess to never getting around to researching it.  Definitely appreciate the update.
