Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-haskell (Nobody) <haskell@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 283368: lang/ghc: remove unused DOCS_BUILD_DEPENDS=xetex https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283368 --- Description --- lang/ghc currently does not even package its built HTML and PDF docs, so there is no point in building them. Furthermore, users can still generally view PDF 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 saves on this time and storage cost.home | help
