The build system for fish always executes the user_doc rule, which requires doxygen irrespective of any USE flag setting. Possible fixes include: * simply depending on doxygen unconditionally even though it isn't strictly required, * patching user_doc out of the `all' target or calling the others manually in the ebuild, * a stub function if USE=doc isn't set to skip doxygen usage because the docs are already prebuilt anyway. Being lazy, and not wanting doxygen needlessly, I went for the second option and attached is a patch which does this. Although, I imagine some will prefer a cleaner fix :/ Thanks, James
Created attachment 114808 [details, diff] fish-no_doxygen.patch The patch also changes the with USE=doc conditional to use the `user_doc' rule, because the doc files that are built with the `doc' rule aren't even installed.

Please file this bug with the upstream developers. I'll be happy to add a fix once upstream accepts it.
I don't agree with closing the bug as resolved, since it is obviously not resolved. Whats wrong with the patch anyway? You didn't even leave a comment on this.

Once this fix is upstream, we will reopen this bug, add the patch and mark it as fixed. > Whats wrong with the patch anyway? You didn't even leave a comment on this. It's not in the upstream source code. I don't add patches that aren't in the upstream code, because it increases Gentoo's maintenance burden and makes us the end-point of support instead of upstream.
For what it is worth as the original poster I *won't* personally be taking this upstream, I'm not a fish user I only installed it to check on a user's collision report with another package(#131638 and #145928) and the latest ebuild's behaviour of just forcing the doxygen dep is fine with me(minus the spurious doc USE flag anyhow).

Reopening as app-shells/fish-1.22.2 is still affected by this bug. Adding the dep on app-doc/doxygen works over here.
please add the doxygen dep, or apply the patch.
uhm, sorry for the spam. doxygen dep is already in there.
fish-1.23.0 does not comes anymore with doc useflag , and it builds fine without doxygen installed. Removing doxygen DEPEND
