------------------------------------

On start digikam looks for dcraw but dcraw isn't a dependency of digikam,
optional or not. This is with version 8.2.0 of digikam. Digikam works just fine
without dcraw. However it should be part of the ebuild.

I can confirm this.

carlo: should a local use flag for optional support be added or force it to be
installed stright away?

Created an attachment (id=94090) [edit]
digikam-0.8.2.ebuild

Here's the 0.8.2 ebuild with the "dcraw" local USE flag (it already exists) and
a corresponding conditional dependency added. As dcraw is not vital to using
digikam an USE flag is better than making it a mandatory dependency, IMHO.

You didn't need to post an ebuild, I'm simply waiting for carlo's reply.
However, due to the fact that it shows an error message complaining about it,
maybe I should for the dependency to be always installed. We will see.

Sorry for trying to help. 

The message is just a warning and one can continue using digikam without dcraw.
That's why I would prefer a local USE flag. Just my two cents.

> Sorry for trying to help. 

I do thank you, do not missunderstand my words. :)

For what I've seen in other distributions, cdraw is set as not-optional
dependency. I'll set it without USE flag for now. It can be changed later on.

I'll set this as hard dependency for now. Once 'on by default' local flags
feature is stable we might change it.

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting it.
