[Bug 261333] graphics/qgis: pulls in misc/qt5-doc, but is devel/qt5-qdoc needed instead?

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261333

--- Comment #1 from Rainer Hurling <rhurlin@FreeBSD.org> ---
Thanks, Martin, for the report. Good question!

I seem to remember that qt-doc once had a role for dependents (plugins?).
Unfortunately I can't find my records anymore. If memory does not deceive me
and doc should be used, however, using qdoc is probably more correct.

I have since built and installed QGIS (1) without doc and (2) with qdoc without
doc. I don't notice anything missing at runtime. So I will probably do without
it completely in the future.

Currently I am still trying to get information from QGIS developers if doc/qdoc
should be used for reasons I don't know.


One more thought about the dependencies in QGIS:
The dependency list in the QGIS port is unfortunately very high. Many of the
dependencies are necessary for good functionality of plugins that are usually
included. Otherwise such plugins don't work without giving the user concrete
hints about the causes. I am considering whether and in what form such
dependencies can be included only optionally.
