The split and how others should depend on it sound right (as I understood it when I very lightly tested this idea back in that thread). The biggest thing to check is that the doxygen binary gets built identically irregardless of what supporting packages are installed (ie graphviz, etc). I don't know/use doxygen to test this (and didn't want to install graphviz an 90 supporting packages to really test this), but it should be straightforward to build doxygen w/out graphviz/latex/ghostscript absent and present (but not set up as a Depends on the .info file) and compare the outputs to make sure they're identical.

[Fink-devel] Doxygen doesn't need to depend on graphviz or latex
As far as I can tell doxygen does not need to depend on graphviz or LaTeX. Removing these two dependencies would make the dependency list of many packages significantly smaller. Graphviz in particular pulls in a lot of other packages. Graphviz can be found at runtime and to make the package build deterministically an extra parameter should be passed to the doxygen: --dot %p/bin/dot As far as I can tell LaTeX is not ever directly used by doxygen. The closest it gets is producing a Makefile which refer to it. Should I file a ticket on the tracker with these changes? --- James pgprwAbRn99Vl.pgp Description: PGP signature - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
