Description Nuno Lopes 2005-07-31 11:15:31 UTC 
the re2c ebuild depends on byacc, which is plain wrong. It includes 'bootsrap' 
files, so no lexer is needed.
Comment 1 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2005-07-31 21:31:25 UTC 
at several points in the past we'd had patches to the bootstrap files, so byacc 
was used in those cases. Just because we don't use it in the latest release, 
doesn't mean we won't in future.

However I have revised the DEPEND structure of the latest version, to reflect 
things better.
