Bug 157920 – xfce-base/thunar misleading USE flags.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2006-12-12 07:44:53 UTC]

[ebuild     U ]  xfce-base/thunar-0.5.0_rc2-r1 [0.5.0_rc2] USE="dbus hal jpeg%* pcre%* startup-notification thumbnail -debug -doc% -exif% -freetype% -xslt" 1,790 kB 

[-    ] xslt (xfce-base/thunar):
Build HTML based docs from xml.

[-    ] freetype (xfce-base/thunar):
Enable support for font thumbnailing.

I'm suggesting following to clean this up:

- freetype and thumbnail combination into single USE thumbnail

- xslt and doc combination into single USE doc

- and removing USE startup-notification as it is freedesktop.org standard and it should just be enabled by default OR there should be flag no-startup-notification which shound quite.. err.. you know :-)

The freetype flag does nothing except adding a dependency, shouldn't even exist. 

Really don't see what's your problem with startup-notification (and no, introducing a no-* flag really isn't an option). Not everyone is interested in seeing the sucky bouncing nonsense while application starts, and it's used in quite a couple of ebuilds...

Not entirely true. While there are no configure parameters for it, there is a check for the precence of freetype. This also occurs for jpeg. If you take a look at the ebuild, I had added a note:
# TODO report upstream:
#       --enable/disable for jpeg
#       --enable/disable for freetype

Yeah, noticed that, but it should be hard dependency until that's fixed.

So.. combine xslt to doc, remove freetype and leave startup-notification as it is.
