This would be really cool to get into portage, as torsmo is dead.

Comment 2 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-22 04:30:13 UTC
added - I modified your ebuild a bit. 
 
Now make some notes on sf:torsmo saying long live conky!

mpd USE flag

first and foremost, this nifty appie rocks.

i had lots of free time recently and i noticed that MPD support was implicitly
enabled in the configure options.. anyway, just added a use flag for it.
nothing fancy. btw, mpd-0.11.5 has a compile time error about an undefined
reference. i think i`ll open a new bug report for that but in the meantime, i
was able to find a work around for it by including --enable-mpd-id3tag in mpd's
configure opts.

cheers,
stef

You should probably take a look at the ebuild in bug 98078

The mpd use flag was removed by a gentoo developer when it was added to portage,
so I assume there is a reason for it not being there...

well, i don't know why mpd support was removed but there is a subtle difference
in the two ebuilds. mpd is included in both as a use flag but the one in bug
98078 doesnt include media-sound/mpd as a dep in case the mpd use flag is set.
Comment 6 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-23 16:37:28 UTC
I removed the mpd use flag cause there wasn't a dependency in bug 98078.   
 
I'll re-add it sometime since there is a dependency. 
Comment 7 Brenden Matthews 2005-07-23 23:02:01 UTC
MPD is not a dependancy for Conky with the MPD stuff enabled.  Since MPD is
network transparent, there is no reason for the client and server to run on the
same machine.  So, like I said, MPD is definitely not a dependancy for Conky,
which is why I never added it.  I don't see any reason why MPD should be added
as a dependancy for Conky, with or without the MPD use flag.
