[gentoo-user] xypic wants ruby?
Please help me to understand this: $ emerge -pv dev-texlive/texlive-pictures These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N] app-admin/eselect-ruby-20091225 2 kB [ebuild N] dev-lang/ruby-1.8.7_p249 USE=berkdb gdbm ipv6 ssl -debug -doc -emacs -examples -rubytests -socks5 -threads -tk -xemacs 4,058 kB [ebuild N] dev-texlive/texlive-pictures-2008-r1 USE=-doc -source 576 kB Total: 3 packages (3 new), Size of downloads: 4,636 kB I need dev-texlive/texlive-pictures because it seems that's what provides xy-pic. Why in Hell am I obliged to install ruby? I currently have no use for it. I can't begin to imagine why this particular programming language should be a must... Nothing in the use flags suggests a clue, for me anyway... Jorge Almeida
