This is a very good idea. Recently, several ebuilds mentioned in the bug |
| 16 |
#222501 have replaced the dependence on virtual/tetex by a rather |
| 17 |
complicated |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
virtual/latex-base |
| 20 |
|| ( dev-texlive/texlive-texinfo app-text/tetex app-text/ptex ) |

It is much easier and cleaner to have virtual/texinfo here (I hope the |
| 23 |
maintainers of these ebuilds will find time and energy to edit them once |
| 24 |
more, and to incorporate virtual/texinfo). |
