Description Alexander Skwar 2006-04-30 08:55:50 UTC

I just did:

[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/dbus-0.61-r1  USE="X -debug doc gtk mono* python qt" 0 kB
[ebuild  N    ]  dev-util/monodoc-1.1.13  17,246 kB

Why is monodoc going to be installed? I don't care about documentation about mono. I want documentation about dbus.

When I do:

alexander@blatt ~ $ USE=-doc emerge -vpt dbus

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/dbus-0.61-r1  USE="X -debug -doc* gtk mono* python qt" 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

So, it seems as if monodoc is installed because of the doc USE flag of dbus.

DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
    dev-util/pkgconfig
    doc? (  app-doc/doxygen
        app-text/xmlto
        mono? ( >=dev-util/monodoc-1.1.10 ) )"

Well, is this really necessary? What's the purpose of making dbus install the monodoc?

IMO, there should be a "doc" USE flag in dev-lang/mono which pulls monodoc.

Because it's needed. See Bug 113528.
