Bug#1003522: fonttools: Please review the (build-)dependencies
Source: fonttools
Version: 4.28.5-1
Severity: important
Hello,
It seems that the fonttools has too much (build-)dependencies defined.
For exemple it build-depends on python3-defcon, this BD seems useless
(not defined in the requirements.txt file) and creates a dependency loop
with it.
Could you please drop python3-defcon and maybe also review the other
(build-)dependencies, for example it's noted in the requirements.txt
that ufoLib2 is required only for tests (that should maybe be indicated
using the nocheck build profile)
It also could be a good idea to move the build-dependencies needed to
build the doc to the Build-Depends-Indep and mark them with nodoc, that
would speedup/make it easier to build the package on the different
ports.
Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
