Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-haskell (Nobod= y) <haskell@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 283368: lang/ghc: remove unused DOCS_BUILD_DEPENDS=3Dxetex https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D283368 --- Description --- lang/ghc currently does not even package its built HTML and PDF docs, so th= ere is no point in building them. Furthermore, users can still generally view P= DF docs using their web browser pointing to upstream PDF URLs at haskell.org. In order to build the PDF docs, it BUILD_DEPENDS on print/tex-xetex, which pulls GBs worth of dependencies and takes quite a long time to build. This patch removes the essentially "unused" dependency on print/tex-xetex and sa= ves on this time and storage cost.
