Description Jonas Bernoulli 2009-09-30 14:46:25 UTC

Building git with USE="-doc" doesn't build the manpages which causes 'git COMMAND --help' also to fail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-doc" emerge git
2. git add --help
3. no help (only git --help provides a little help)

Actual Results:  
Since git uses manpages for command line help (--help) too, there is no help available at all.

Expected Results:  
git COMMAND --help should work

always build manpages

Comment 2 Jonas Bernoulli 2009-10-01 11:06:54 UTC

Given that ebuild now uses +doc I have lowered severity to normal.
