[Koha-devel] Koha and xhtml2pdf

[David Cook]

Yeah, no one uses easy_install anymore. It's all about pip.

However, the community likes to have everything packaged, and using pip is
like using cpan... so this seems like an issue to me. Does Koha have anyone
of notifying that there's a dependency missing if it's not installed in this
case?
