Description Eli Schwartz gentoo-dev

I am currently working on updating calibre with support for using the system mathjax installation. calibre supports this natively, but generates a manifest including file sizes and an etag covering the entire contents, which it uses to refresh the mathjax files when serving it via the ebook server.

This means that calibre should really be rebuilt whenever mathjax is updated, or that information will go stale.

What do you think?

    app-text/calibre: add subslot dependency on mathjax
    
    This doesn't often change. When it does, the calibre-server assets need
    to be rebuilt with the new content hashes for the mathjax code.
    
    Add the slot without a revbump. Any systems that don't pick up on this
    update will be fine, because the chances are extremely high that calibre
    will continue to be updated many times before the next mathjax update,
    so no real point forcing a metadata-only rebuild.
