Created attachment 472392 [details] updated ebuild for current heirloom-doctools app-doc/heirloom-doctools was depreceated in 2010 [1] for 2 reasons: * lack of source updates * lack of groff compatibility app-doc/heirloom doctools is however still listed as a potential dependency for sys-apps/man. There is a maintained fork of heirloom-doctools on github [2] which should have improved groff compatibility (see CHANGELOG). Because of this, I think the 2 original reasons to depreceate the package have been resolved which might call for a revival of this package. I have built and tested heirloom-doctools as an alternative to groff (using busybox man) and it seems to be working very well!
