Hi Ken,
Package doxygen is missing a runtime dependency requirement on
epstopdf in texlive-collection-fontutils since 1.8.9 (2014-12-25)!
Thanks for the report, Brian. I've decided to fix this a different way,
following Fedora. Instead of adding dependencies to doxygen, I'm adding
a new empty package doxygen-latex, which brings in all the dependencies
that doxygen needs for producing LaTeX/pdf output. It turns out that
there are several of them, not just texlive-collection-fontutils.
That's exactly the same approach as Debian;
I couldn't find anything like that under Fedora RPMs:
doxygen.spec just lists a bunch of Requires: tex(latex) type entries.
Is there some other source of truth about Fedora packages than
https://src.fedoraproject.org/projects/rpms/ or some other way of
interpreting tex() requirements?
You could now define doxygen-latex as CATEGORY=virtual to avoid calm
warnings, which sometimes are public and annoying to all uploaders.
You could also go the other way, as OpenSuSE appears to have --disable-d
and dropped both latex dependencies and building doxygen-doc:
"Kill doxygen-doc subpackages the latex deps keep growing while it is
really easy to download the generated pdfs from upstream".
[I can't really blame them, as an ~30MB package should not need to drag
in ~0.5GB of other stuff to produce output.
I feel sorry for those, such as students working from home or
apts/flats, on non-broadband, limited, or metered networks.]
