Description David Flogeras 2020-07-05 20:37:10 UTC

I don't intend to use matplotlib for any web-related stuff, and it hauls in a lot of new deps.

According to
https://matplotlib.org/3.2.2/users/installing.html

This package is optional.  Could it be placed behind a USE?

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Soren Harward 2020-08-01 13:26:53 UTC

Now that 3.1.2 has been removed from the portage tree, all matplotlib-3.* ebuilds unnecessarily hard-depend on tornado.  Can we get this fixed, please?

Comment 2 Jordi 2020-11-14 10:39:52 UTC

Any update on this issue? As of matplotlib-3.3.3 still pulls tornado as a hard-dependency.

Manually removing this rdepend solves the issue and matplotlib works as expected.
