On start up quanta complains about: Some applications required for full functionality are missing: - Cervisia [http://www.kde.org/apps/cervisia] - CVS management plugin will not be available; - Cervisia (cvsservice) [http://www.kde.org/apps/cervisia] - integrated CVS management will not be available. There should be a use flag to pull these in and enable support.
*bump*
Guys, I don't use quanta, but if this is fixed by a simple add of the cvs? ( kde-base/cervisia ) to RDEPEND, then feel free to add it.
quanta-3.5.6 now gives the following warning: - Tidy [http://tidy.sourceforge.net] - HTML syntax checking will not be available; - Kompare [http://bruggie.dnsalias.org/kompare] - comparing of files by content will not be available; - Cervisia [http://www.kde.org/apps/cervisia] - CVS management plugin will not be available. Should we add them as use flag on PDEPEND or let the users do it themselves and close this bug?
What do you mean by "let the users do it themselves"? If you mean that the user should have to edit the ebuild, or manually install packages before emerging quanta, then that is wrong. Please read http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/automagic.xml for a fuller explanation.

I'm not suggesting users should edit ebuilds and they don't need to install the packages before emerging quanta - it can be done afterwards. Personally, I would add the rdeps as caleb discussed in comment #2, but I'm interested in other opinions.

I guess Jorge meant letting the users emerge the other packages *after* emerging Quanta which is not the best approach either. As those other packages mentioned are pure RDEPENDS, not known by autotools and won't be missed by Quanta apart from the startup messages if they're gone, I'm going to add those conditional RDEPENDS unless someone vetoes. IMO, they don't qualify as "automagic".
Oh, i do. Scrap them completely and leave a postinstall message instead, please. Creating use flags for optional runtime dependencies is _so_ pointless.
Thinking about it, you're right, Carlo. I've done that. Committed (without bumping) to CVS.
