Description Michelangelo Scopelliti 2011-05-21 16:07:15 UTC
Maybe it's just me, but (since you could say I'm for vim) is there any reason to pull in emacs as dependency? why xemacs/texinfo instead of other 'standard' texinfo? where shoud I look?

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2011-05-21 16:18:34 UTC
I'm guessing you have either the 'emacs' or 'xemacs' USE flag set? Post your emerge --info if not.
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2011-05-21 21:59:40 UTC
Upstream have removed gnuplot.texi from their CVS: <http://gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnuplot/gnuplot/docs/gnuplot.texi?hideattic=0&view=log> Therefore, either Emacs or XEmacs will now be needed at build time to generate gnuplot.texi from gnuplot.doc.

Comment 3 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-05-22 06:47:10 UTC
I don't see this as a problem, but there are two possible way to fix it:
-add a recent gnuplot.info to the filesdir
-disable the generation of gnuplot.info with "USE=-doc"
Both solutions are not really nice, that is why I prefer to leave it like it is.

I personally don't care much about having emacs installed, even if I am in favor of vim. One can always uninstall emacs after gnuplot was built.
