Description Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-24 20:52:40 UTC
I would like to ask why the hell gconf is hardcoded into ebuild? Firefox does not need it, and not anyone use GNOME,

# XXX: GConf is used for setting the default browser
# revisit to make it optional with GNOME 3

As this is optional dep, make useflag for it! The adventage of USE flags is that you can turn of bloatware, however here you can't.

Reproducible: Always
