Bug 133728 – sane backends ask tetex as a dependancy

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matteo Azzali (RETIRED) 2006-05-18 15:02:17 UTC]

Yesterday it wasn't needed. Tetex is not a little dependancy and isn't required
for a lot of uses, if this isn't a mistake with the ebuild or some new dep for 
future releases of sane backend, could you please make it optional????

No, unless you have solution for Bug 123005.

What about a doc flag??????

Sure, if you solve the bug I referred to... The use flag won't solve it automagically.

Ok, I'll try to make a new ebuild, I don't want 200Mb (distfile + files) of unused
packages in my box.

Created attachment 87025 [details]
sane-backends-1.0.17-r1.ebuild

Seem to work, it just fix USE_LATEX="no" if doc use flag is not selected,
however it generates all the other docs, so the flag may be called latex too.

Please test.

re-checked, here the ebuild was working without latex even removing the
line forcing USE_LATEX , so some more testing/input may be needed.

Reopen...

[Comment 8 Matteo Azzali (RETIRED) 2006-05-18 16:26:10 UTC]

Tried even to emerge all backends with old ebuild (removing just latex dependancy)
and use flags: "gphoto2 usb -ipv6 -v4l". Still was emerge fine here, so we'll need
testing from someone who had previously issue in bug #123005 to be sure it's 
fixed.

Strange. I could reproduce the problem of bug #123005 back then, but can't any more. Just unmerged tetex and had no trouble building sane-backends. Removing the dependency, closing this bug and reopening the old one.
Sorry for the trouble.
