When installing captive, at the end of the output (after the installation has finished) it informs the user to "Use /usr/sbin/captive-install-acquire to search for and install the needed drivers for captive NTFS." Now, based on this output, one would expect the file /usr/sbin/captive-install-acquire to exist. But when USE="-gtk" the searching utility is not installed at all, presumably because it usually is used as a gui. In previous ebuilds (based on version 1.1.5) installed a command-line-only version of the utility when USE="-gtk"
ewarn "captive-install-acquire is only provided with USE=gtk" I just added that, I hope that makes it clear.
There's also a script called "captive-install-fstab" which creates entries in /etc/fstab for ntfs and captive. This is also only installed with USE=gtk though it doesn't rely on a gui in any way. Could it be changed so that this script is installed when USE=-gtk?
Yeah, you are free to provide me a patch to do so. Currently I can only enable all the install stuff and require gtk or not so. It would maybe also be possible to not require gtk but provide install-acquire .. because there is currently a text-interface available. If you want you can bring this up on the upstream mailinglist - maybe jan likes to work on it :) Otherwise I would surely appreciate a patch.
