Description:   Opened: 2004-10-19 09:09 0000 
I'm building distcc on an embedded uclibc build, so size is something of a
concern.

sys-devel/distcc-2.18 unconditionally depends on:
    sys-apps/shadow
    dev-util/pkgconfig
shadow in turn pulls in miscfiles and cracklib, a total of nearly 4 megabytes.

Compare with distcc itself, about 400k including /usr/share/doc.

pkgconfig and shadow are not actually needed by distcc: building it with
--nodeps confirms this.

The bug then, is: shouldn't there be a USE flag or two controlling whether
distcc is built with/without pkgconfig/shadow support?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.

Shadow is required for useradd (distcc user).

As for pkgconfig, you're right.  This is only needed for GUI things and is now fixed in cvs.
