Description Sergey Kvachonok 2010-05-01 16:02:02 UTC

I've got asciidoc as a prerequisite for building docs for other packages e.g. git.
At what point do I need lynx here? ASCIIdoc files build just fine without it.
And if the viewer is really required, why won't any other www-client serve the same purpose?

Please consider making this RDEPEND optional or dropping it altogether.

sgmltools-lite have the same dependency btw, don't know if it's worth filing the same thing twice.
