Description Dmitri Pogosian 2006-11-17 11:21:04 UTC
Several packages slotted for removal with Gnome-1 are on the list because of 
dependency on media-libs/gdk-pixbuf

However,  gdk-pixbuf itself can be recompiled without gnome support, and packages
dependent on it would not depend on Gnome-1

Indeed Redhat splits gdk-pixbuf into gnome-independent and gnome-dependent part,
the latter containing just GnomeCanvasPixbuf library.

From gdk-pixbuf ebuild

RDEPEND="media-libs/jpeg
        media-libs/tiff
        =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2*
        >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1
        amd64? ( sys-libs/db )
        !amd64? ( <sys-libs/db-2 )
        >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1"
# We need gnome-libs here, else gnome support do not get compiled into
# gdk-pixbuf (the GnomeCanvasPixbuf library )
