I think this reflects a general pattern of packages that depend on a small feature that can be provided by different packages: in this case the TextToPs feature in a2ps, enscript, mpage and cups. mpage is small enough (80KB source, 303KiB installed) so that foomatic-filters could depend on it, so I added app-text/mpage to DEPEND in foomatic-filters-3.0.2.ebuild. Worked like a charm. I hope someone can put the dependency in the ebuild, unless there is some policy against disambiguating between alternative packages providing the same feature. antarus@gentoo.org 2005-04-24 22:17:41 0000 Created an attachment (id=57145) adds a 4-way or DEPEND with the providers.
