Re: ipp-usb in Ubuntu Main - Next obstacle: ronn

[Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>]

I have looked deeper into it and as the man page is already available in 
the GitHub repository/the source tarball the "make man" call during 
build and so the build dependency on ronn is not actually required. 
Sorry, Alexander, problem is not on your side.

OdyX, can we remove the

----------
execute_after_dh_auto_build:
        make man
----------

in debian/rules and the build dependency on ronn?

Thanks in advance

   Till
