1 Hi,
2
3 sys-apps/texinfo installs scripts texi2dvi, texi2pdf etc. which are
4 not functional because the necessary dependencies on TeX are missing.
5
6 Therefore aballier and myself propose to introduce a new-style virtual
7 which will pull in the necessary dependencies:
8 - texi2dvi script -> sys-apps/texinfo
9 - working TeX installation -> virtual/latex-base
10 - texinfo.tex -> dev-texlive/texlive-texinfo, or one of the
11 monolithic TeX packages
12
13 See bug 230473 [1] for more details.
14
15 If there are no major objections, I'll add the new virtual next week.
