sys-apps/pcmciautils-01x changing depends to bison

can we change the depends to sys-devel/bison? why i have to install yacc i have bison already installed?

Comment 1 Henrik Brix Andersen 2006-06-12 14:04:08 UTC

Why install bison if you already have yacc installed? Both yacc and bison are very small packages, each taking less than a minute to merge on my laptop. Shouldn't really be an issue

Upstream decided to go with yacc, that's what I've followed in the Gentoo ebuilds. If you believe upstream should change to using bison by default, please contact them.
