Description Martin von Gagern 2005-02-02 07:16:27 UTC

I'm building thin clients and want to include nbd.
Right now this depends on loads of docbook packages, as far as I can see only to build the manpages.
1. This should not be included in RDEPEND
2. It would be nice to have a flag to switch this off, e.g. "noman".
3. Maybe the general doman ebuild command could also honor such a flag.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Bret Towe 2005-03-26 15:56:05 UTC

Created attachment 54553 [details, diff]
nodoc.patch

patch against makefiles to remove man page building

Comment 2 Bret Towe 2005-03-26 15:56:52 UTC

Created attachment 54554 [details]
nbd-2.7.2.ebuild

updated ebuild to add doc use flag and use the previous attached patch
to allow docs to not be build and reducing the heavy deps

2.7.3 actually includes the manpages pre-generated so ive added that to portage
