Description Paul Thompson 2003-04-11 20:20:21 UTC

Hi;

fdutils ebuild depends on tetex, which all in all seems to involve over
30Mb of downloads. It seems to be used to rebuild documentation,
or build some different forms. However, the package comes with
man pages, and info files, and tetex isnt strictly needed.
Since tetex is a USE variable, I wrote a simple patch to the
ebuild, which wont bother with the tex stuff if -tetex is in the USE.

Paul
