Description BRULE Herman 2015-12-06 20:23:47 UTC

Hello, can you put on flags "doc" the dep asciidoc to drop it?
For me it force: exactly-one-of ( python_single_target_pypy python_single_target_python2_7 ) and it's a problem

Reproducible: Always

It is needed to generate man pages I believe since usptream often fails to pre-generate them. The policy in Gentoo is to make dependencies for man pages not optional.

Comment 2 BRULE Herman 2015-12-07 00:41:22 UTC

Then any solution to do: python_python2_7 not: python_single_target_python2_7?

Comment 3 BRULE Herman 2015-12-07 00:46:55 UTC

PS, I have: FEATURES="noman noinfo nodoc"

PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4"
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4"

The other solution can be python 3 support:

I'm closing this because, as Gilles explained, it's Gentoo policy to build man pages unconditionally and that the dependency that it pulls, app-text/docbook-sgml-utils, doesn't pull in python2_7 as of today.
