Description Morteza 2022-01-13 10:30:35 UTC
according to this issue https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/1885 newsboat can be made without docs and therefore emerging ruby can be avoided with doc use flag

Hey, any update? It seems a sound proposal
Comment 2 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-08-13 19:17:37 UTC
I think I'd prefer it if we shipped pre-generated man pages instead of disabling it entirely. I have some scripts which make it quite easy to do and I've started doing it for e.g. qemu.
Comment 3 ignamartinoli 2022-08-19 04:49:42 UTC
Hey Sam, pre-generated man pages would be cool but for the time being, seeing this is an issue unattended for almost half a year we could disable it temporarily until your optimal solution is implemented
Comment 4 Morteza 2023-01-29 05:35:13 UTC
it's been a long time since i created this bug, is there motivation to add doc flag

Maybe you could do it?

newsboat-2.33 ebuild without docs

With this ebuild you can build the newest Newsboat(2.33) without docs meaning you don't need about 50 Ruby packages.

I could not decide how to add the doc flag since it's the default for the actual project and the docs being optional is not yet implemented.

What I did was basically:
1- Remove the asciidoctor dependency.
2- Update the versions for the crates.
3- Instead of using "emake" and "emake-install", I used "emake newsboat" and "emake install-newsboat". These were mentioned in the GitHub issues.

Temporarily a useflag can be added to reverse this and use the older method (plain make and make install) to compile and install it.
