Bluefish has an option for disabling the splashscreen (--disable-splash-screen) there should be a USE-Flag for using this option for Bluefish (and maybe other apps, too?). I've modified the bluefish-1.0.4.ebuild and attached it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge bluefish 2.start it 3.get pissed of by the splash screen ;) Actual Results: Bluefish emerged with a annoying splashscreen Expected Results: There should be a USE-Flag giving me the option to disable the splashscreen Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre11 Portage 2.0.53 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.14-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" LANG="de_DE@euro" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/gentoo.de" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext 7zip X a52 aac acl acpi alsa apache2 apm audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bigger-fonts bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdparanoia cdr cdrom cli cpudetection crypt css cups curl dba dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode ethereal exif expat fam ffmpeg firefox flatfile fontconfig foomaticdb fortran freetype ftp gd gdbm gif gimp glut gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 hal html http icq idn ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib imlib2 irc jabber java javascript jpeg jpeg2k junit kqemu lame lcms libg++ libwww lm_sensors lua mad menubar mikmod mmx mmxext mng mod_python motif mouse mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mpeg4 mplayer msn musepack mysql ncurses nforce2 nls no-old-linux nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdf pdflib pear perl php pic png python qemu-fast quicktime quotas rar readline real remote rpc rss samba sdl server session simplexml softmmu spell sse ssl tcpd theora tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts udev usb userlocales vcd vim vorbis wifi win32codecs xfs xml xml2 xpm xv xvid zip zlib linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
Created attachment 74648 [details] Ebuild for Bluefish with splash-screen useflag
No, this should be configurable in the application itself, if those fancy screens are really needed at all (suggestion for upstream). Selecting such things at compile time sucks.
