@bittin, did you read the warning that shows up when you try to flag a git package? Please don't waste my time with frivolous requests.

Thanks.

Should this provide nroff since 
it provides that binary and for
example fish depends on nroff or
should fish depend on groff 
directly instead?

No. The core repository PKGBUILD doesn't create such meta-provides and neither does mandoc.

@NikitaIvanov, the patch is irrelevant insofar as this PKGBUILD tracks the tip of the master development branch both of groff and gnulib. If it doesn't compile, you just have to wait a few hours or days and the bug will be fixed upstream. Else, you report it upstream and have it fixed.

As of the time I'm posting this, groff-git and gnulib-git compile flawlessly. Cheers.

The package is somehow broken, I get an error that groff.txt was not found. This patch fixed it for me:

Please add perl-file-homedir as a dependency because glilypond doesn't work without it.
