Bug 56535 – transcode-0.6.12-r1: missing gocr dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bardur Arantsson 2004-07-09 06:16:21 UTC]

The pgm2txt script installed by the transcode ebuild depends on finding the "gocr" executable in the $PATH.

Therefore, "app-text/gocr" should be added to the DEPENDS (maybe RDEPENDS?) in the transcode ebuild as it is not currently listed.

Cheers,

pgm2txt is not an essential part of transcode
your request should only be done via USE flag

im working on a ebuild to fix most of these transocode bugs
but i need some info on this one

what is gocr needed for?
and what use flag would be best to use for this?

[Comment 3 Bret Towe 2004-09-24 00:46:58 UTC]

well i added it anyhow for the moment without a use flag
check out bug #65170 for the ebuild
test and comment if you would

Sorry, Bret, I must have missed the notification from your first comment. Gocr is used for pgm2txt script which is, in turn, used to convert (picture-based) subtitles into text-based subtitles (by OCRing them).

I don't think there is any USE flag which covers this already, but I guess if you _really_ want to avoid having app-text/gocr as a fixed dependency, you could always add a local USE flag.

Personally, I think just adding gocr to the dependencies is the right thing to do. I mean, it's a very, very small app compared to many of the other dependencies (like ImageMagick).
