Bug 223617 – dev-texlive/texlive-documentation-* : Is "doc" USE flag really needed (and expected) for this documentation ebuilds?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2008-05-25 22:13:38 UTC]

I added "doc" USE flag for app-text/texlive meta ebuild for getting dev-texlive/texlive-documentation-spanish installed, but, I got only 4 files from it because I don't have "doc" USE flag enabled for all packages and I forgot to also add "doc" USE flag for spanish documentation package (seems that "doc" USE flag is being taken from texlive-module.eclass)

I think that would be better simply enable "doc" by default for all dev-texlive/texlive-documentation* ebuilds

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

It's set in texlive-module.eclass. I assume it may have some function even for documentation packages. :)

Yep it's set in the eclass and also prevents from installing some docs in the other ebuilds. Although I admit it might have sense to remove it from the documentation-* ebuilds, I haven't thought about a sane way to do it yet. Patches welcome ;)

Created attachment 158857 [details, diff]
texlive-module-eclass.diff

This seems to work for me

Thanks, applied. I've modified it a little bit to not use cut at global scope but the idea remains the same ;)
