Bug 108717 – minimal or uclibc should exclude groff for xorg-x11

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98187
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description R. Bosch 2005-10-10 05:40:48 UTC]

Since compiling groff fails with uclibc, it might be a good thing to remove the
groff dependency... It would have no effect on building Xorg. (tested
xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove groff dependency
2. ebuild xorg-x11[version].ebuild digest
3. emerge xorg-x11

Actual Results:  
X installed without groff

Ok, this is about/for Xorg, not groff.
It does have a relation to groff, but thats where it end's imho.

your comment:

is unrelated to xorg

Correct.
This is both a way around groff AND a way to minimize the size of Xorg.
For fome parts it could be that groff is needed since there where reports of
Xorg failing on groff's absence.
"emerge -e system fail" - kind of reports.
