Emerging gnuplot-4.2.2-r1 with "doc" enabled in USE fails unless ghostscript is installed complaining about a failure of "emake pdf". Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. un-emerge ghostscript 2. try and emerge gnuplot with doc enabled in USE Actual Results: ghostscript is not emerged as a dependency. but emerging the doc of gnuplot calls a ghostscript command (eps2pdf or something) and fails unless ghostscript is emerged Expected Results: ghostscript should be emerged as a dependency of gnuplot when doc is enabled in USE relevant lines of the ebuild : #gnuplot-4.2.2-r1.ebuild:l.25 doc? ( virtual/latex-base ) #gnuplot-4.2.2-r1.ebuild:l.67 src_compile() { # (...) #gnuplot-4.2.2-r1.ebuild:l.116-122 if use doc ; then cd docs emake pdf || die "pdf doc creation failed" cd ../tutorial emake pdf || die "pdf tutorial failed" fi } # --- end of extracts --- FIX ? Would replacing l.25 with : doc? ( virtual/latex-base virtual/ghostscript ) fix it ?
Sorry for the delay, I am currently moving. Ghostscript is now pulled in by doc USE flag. Thanks for the report.
