[gentoo-user] gcc -> texinfo dependency

[gentoo-user] gcc -> texinfo dependency

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,

I've seen, gcc has texinfo as rdependency. What does it need it for ? 
I'd like to get rid of it.

Hi,
Just checked and it's rather a DEPEND dependency not RDEPEND.
Means "texinfo" is needed only for building GCC, not for running it.
IIRC currently portage doesn't support removing DEPEND deps leaving only
  RDEPEND ones. Anyone here, as i'm not very sure.

So, I can simply remove it by hand after building gcc.

hmm, is there any way for queuing for installed packages neither
in an RDEPEND nor in system or world ?

BTW: I don't need info pages at all, is there any useflag to 
completely disable the whole info stuff ?

Um, for many (most?) GNU programs, the info documentation is the only
sane documentation.  Or are you saying you don't want any
documentation at all (man pages, info, html, pdfs, etc)?

I find this incredibly ironic, considering that both of the portage
questions you asked here today were answered with pointers to, or
quotations of, the emerge man page.... :-/
