Currently x11-libs/gtksourceview depends on two gnoma-base packages: * gnome-base/gnome-vfs (from configure script i see that it is used only for tests that are already disabled in ebuild to remove this dependency, but RDEPEND atom is still present) * gnome-base/libgnomeprint (you can disable this using configure script switch) It would be great if it would be possible to remove at least gnome-vfs dependency. In case of libgnomeprint i don't know what exact problems it may cause, but i ask maintainer if he could consider removal of this dependency too. I compiled gtksourceview locally without both of mentioned packages successfully. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
You're right about the gnome-vfs dep; I've removed it. I checked, and libgnomeprintui is needed to print from a gtksourceview widget. Until it switches to gtk-print, that dep has to stay.
