> So depending on texinfo alone is not sufficient if packages need texi2dvi > at build time. See bug 222501 comment 1 and bug 230133 for recent examples. This should be bug 222501 comment 2 of course. Created attachment 159241 [details]
texi2dvi-0.ebuild
(In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=159241) [edit] > texi2dvi-0.ebuild Good for me (maybe add a homepage? not sure if it makes sense for virtuals). If base-system is ok, please send it to -dev ml or tell me to do so ;) I think that's the best way to handle it as adding the whole TeX dependencies on a package in system is probably not a good idea; and conditionally installing texi2dvi isn't better. > (maybe add a homepage? not sure if it makes sense for virtuals). According to <http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/virtuals/>: "[...] a new-style virtual has an empty string for the value of the LICENSE and HOMEPAGE variables." In CVS. Reopening as tracker for packages that should depend on virtual/texi2dvi. |
