31 Dec 2009; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> icecream-0.9.2.ebuild,
icecream-0.9.3.ebuild, icecream-0.9.4.ebuild:
Remove kde-base/kdelibs:3.5 USE="doc" depend.

See following commented out lines in 0.9.4's ebuild:

# compile manpages...yeah, we need meinproc, ergo kdelibs for this :(
#if use doc; then
#       cd doc
#       for docfile in *.docbook; do
#               outputfile="${docfile/man-/}"
#               outputfile="${outputfile/.docbook/}"

#               meinproc \
#               --stylesheet /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/kde-man.xsl \
#               "${docfile}" && \
#               mv manpage.troff "${outputfile}" || \
#               die "compiling manpages failed"
#       done
#fi

And then,

$ qfile -v meinproc4
kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.0 (/usr/bin/meinproc4)

$ meinproc4
Usage: meinproc4 [KDE-options] [options] xml
KDE Translator for XML

If it's possible to use meinproc4, do it.

This is not possible, meinproc4 parses it differently and it can be in multiple locations thanks to kdeprefix. So generating it is bit magical and we would need to use kde4 eclasses for which i don't feel brave enough :)

Altho if you find some robust yet simple way how to generate this docs feel free to reopen this bug or open new one.

Oh, I have no personal intrest in this bug whatsoever -- it was only to serve the purpose of informing maintainers that the old way went away with KDE3. WONTFIX is fine by me.
