Source: cyrus-sasl2 Version: 2.1.28+dfsg1-4 Severity: normal User: helmutg@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap X-Debbugs-Cc: helmutg@debian.org Hello, cyrus-sasl2 is one of the core dependencies required for bootstrapping Debian but requires the Pyton package Sphinx for building documentation. This can be easily avoided by removing the "doc-html" target during build. This way, the python3-sphinx-rtd-theme build dependency can be omitted. It would be ideal for a "nodoc" build profile which I am asking to be added here. Thanks, Adrian -- .''`.

This has kinda been addressed for the cross case by annotating the relevant dependency :native, but I see how this is still relevant natively. > It would be ideal for a "nodoc" build profile which I am asking to be added here. Please don't. cyrus-sasl2 has split out its documentation to an Arch:all package. As such, doing an arch-only build should already skip documentation. I see that this is not how cyrus-sasl2 is packaged, but demoting the sphinx dependency to Build-Depends-Indep is a much better solution, because nodoc is a gross mess and you never know what goes missing there. Instead, with the arch/indep split, we have a quite good understanding of what the build output will be. It also means that buildds immediately benefit from the change and you don't have to do a binary upload. So please don't do nodoc. Do a proper arch/indep split instead. Helmut
