gnutls dependencies

[Marius Schamschula]

Kastus, Joshua,

I never noticed this issue, as I always build the docs.

Fixed in https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/144c3cec1e062304e769b896d242b3816ec2b5f9 <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/144c3cec1e062304e769b896d242b3816ec2b5f9>

I tried to install gnutls without doc variant, but it still wants to install the same tall list. Is there a way to skip them? Or dependencies are always calculated regardless of selected variants? On another system I installed gnutls -doc, and then removed docbook-xml and the rest of the list, and port command did not complained.
