USE=doc in texlive-2011.ebuild installs documentation for that very package. This has nothing to do with the documentation of its RDEPEND packages. Forcing ("inheriting") a USE flag for the deps would mean less choice, not more convenience.

On the LaTeX tutorial in London yesterday, I felt kind of stupid when texdoc didn't show up anything. Usually I browse websites to gather information(which is stupid, the texdoc stuff is much better) and didn't know the 'doc' USE flag on TexLive is not enough to get the actual Latex-core documentation... But it's ok, I can put the USE flag on the packages. This was just some idea I got yesterday :) |
