Description Matthew Millar 2016-01-08 02:57:36 UTC

Created attachment 422268 [details]
groff-1.22.2-r1.ebuild: >=sys-apps/texinfo-4.7-r1 dependency removed

groff-1.22.2.tar.bz2:/groff-1.22.2/doc/Makefile.in states that "info files are distributed with the groff package, so makeinfo is usually not needed".

makeinfo tool is included in texinfo, which is therefore not a dependency.
