--- Begin Message ---Package: groff Version: 1.23.0-1 Severity: wishlist I apologize for filing this bug report a bit prematurely, but I've been working on building groff in a bullseye chroot lately to prepare for groff 1.23.0.rc2, and I wanted to document some findings while they were fresh in my mind. Here is the current build-dependencies declaration for Debian's groff package. Build-Depends: bison (>= 1:1.875b), debhelper-compat (= 12), dh-exec, dpkg-dev (>= 1.17.0~), ghostscript, netpbm, psutils, x11proto-core-dev, libx11-dev, libxmu-dev, libxt-dev, libxaw7-dev, texinfo (>= 4.8), pkg-config, libuchardet-dev, gsfonts, poppler-utils <!nocheck> When packaging groff 1.23.0, some changes should be made. I'll quote the 'NEWS' file for rationales. * Drop the bison dependency. o Building groff from its distribution archive no longer requires byacc (or GNU Bison) to be installed. * Drop the texinfo dependency. o Because all generated forms of groff's Texinfo manual are now included in the distribution archive, building from that archive no longer depends on GNU Texinfo or a TeX installation (the latter was only required for the "doc" target, which had to be explicitly given). * Add a dependency on m4. o m4 is now required to build. Any m4 that implements the features documented in the Version 7 Unix m4(1) man page, and the `-D` option, should suffice. * Add a dependency on "cups-client | cups-bsd | lpr". This is not due to new development. I confess to being puzzled why this build dependency isn't already present. groff's configure script has for years looked for an installed "lpr" command, then fallen back to "lp". Only "groff -l" uses the detected spooler command, however, and maybe people just don't do that very often. I think it is possible that for chroot-built groff packages in Debian--for those done by the buildds, for instance--the compiled groff command is silently ignoring the flag. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/src/roff/groff/groff.cpp#n408 I looked at the BuildProfileSpec page[1], and while bootstrapping is discussed there, I couldn't find a spec that would be applicable to groff for bootstrapping it. ("nocheck" is already used in the event groff's test suite is not run.) But in case it's useful to know, here are all the (non-Debian-packaging-process-related) build-dependencies that could be dropped for such a profile. In other words, groff will still 'configure' and 'make' without these, albeit with reduced functionality. ghostscript netpbm psutils x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxt-dev libxaw7-dev pkg-config libuchardet-dev gsfonts And of course the already-profiled "poppler-utils". The aforementioned "cups-client | cups-bsd | lpr" is also not necessary for bootstrapping. "m4" _is_ (or will be, in groff 1.23.0). Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

I turned these off for Debian in 2002 because pagers didn't cope well at the time, but it's now 21 years later and things have changed; SGR escape sequences resolve some ambiguity (see #963490) and are required for new features such as clickable hyperlinks. * Honour /etc/papersize in PDF output, now that gropdf has the necessary support upstream (closes: #1030097). * Set doc-default-operating-system to "Debian" (closes: #284002). * Map "^" to "\[ha]" and "~" to "\[ti]" for man/mdoc on the utf8 device, to mitigate an upstream change likely to expose many glyph usage errors in manual pages (although those errors were already visible in PDF output). * Arrange to rebuild documentation from the original source. * Install groff.pdf (the PDF form of groff's Texinfo manual). * Only force time display to UTC when the time came from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (LP: #1908333). * Enable OSC 8 hyperlinks for man pages.
