If you want to become owner of the bug reports which will happen if users can not produce e.g. PostScript output you may change it back. From `man 1 man': -T[device], --troff-device[=device] This option is used to change groff (or possibly troff's) output to be suitable for a device other than the default. It implies -t. Examples (provided with Groff-1.17) include dvi, latin1, ps, utf8, X75 and X100. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm fine with the BuildRequire on groff but for the full funcionality of man the full groff funcionality is required. We could discuss about a weaker Recommendation insterad of a Reqiurement but even a Suggest is to weak (IMHO). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
