Comment:

 Now that I've looked at it more closely, I don't think there was any good
 reason to have added the asciidoc dependency in the first place. It was
 done when the port was [changeset:d9e1b5f8231ba07f68c1ec3ba145773bddd49cc1
 /macports-ports updated to 3.7.1] because the project switched to GitHub
 and the port was changed to get the source code using an automatically-
 generated tarball. Git repositories don't usually contain generated files
 so it's understandable that the port had to run autogen.sh and have a
 dependency on asciidoc in that case. But I don't know why the port used an
 automatically-generated tarball when it is preferable to use a release
 tarball if the project provides them, and ccache does. I
 [changeset:78fd1dc440b5b94211b15e2c086ea0ad56df580a/macports-ports
 switched the port to do that now] and
 [changeset:0393c938b105ca339019408d07e143db59d3665c/macports-ports removed
 the asciidoc dependency] entirely.
