Re: [PATCH] Build system improvements

[KESHAV P.R.]

One small question - is ruby still required to build grub2 from
mainline or newreloc? Currently I have included the following programs
as makedepends for my grub2-efi (using rev 2627 snapshot tarball, not
1.98 tarball) package in archlinux

ruby
bison
python (version 2, not 3)
binutils
autoconf'
automake
autogen
texinfo
ncurses
flex
help2man
gettext

All the packages have devel libraries included? Which of these
packages are "not needed" for the new automake build system?

Regards.
