Bug 739754 – sys-apps/ibm-powerpc-utils-99999: drop the bc dependency

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Michael 2020-08-31 17:04:30 UTC]

This dependency was trimmed upstream:

https://github.com/ibm-power-utilities/powerpc-utils/commit/6bd1f8acdbef807738e2270e3974ceb3b892666d

The live ebuild can be updated to reflect it, but I'd also suggest specifying the branch as "next" or "testing-next".  The default "master" just points to the last tag, so it's not getting a current development checkout.

Oh, and it looks like they just tagged 1.3.8 a minute ago which includes that commit, so this change should be reflected in the next ebuild.

https://github.com/ibm-power-utilities/powerpc-utils/releases/tag/v1.3.8
