New version of xfprint added two use-flags: cups and lpr. Since I don't have a printer i didn't use either of them. Building of xfprint-4.3.90.1 failed at configure stage with: configure: error: You need to have at least CUPS or BSDLPR in order to use Xfprint !!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org: !!! /var/tmp/portage/xfprint-4.3.90.1/work/xfprint-4.3.90.1/config.log !!! ERROR: xfce-base/xfprint-4.3.90.1 failed.

Is either cups or lpr obligatory even if I'm not using it? (I've installed xfce form xfce-base/xfce4 ebuild which depends on xfprint. Maybe I need to install xfce selecting individual ebuilds, excluding xfprint? If so, it would be nice to add a flag, ie. 'noprinting', to xfce-base/xfce4, to install whole xfce, but without xfprint) Anyway, if I need to have either cups or lpr, maybe there is a better way to do this? I suggest to add cups (or lpr) as default and leave only the second flag (but it would be a problem if someone wants to add support for both). Maybe the nocups/nolpr flag would be better?

Yup, I meant to add the printing flag to xfce4 and forgot last night... I'll also clean up xfprint so it fails if both flags are unset. Thanks.
The build failure has been fixed. I've given the printing flag a bit of thought and I decided not to put it in, I don't like the precident it sets since the same behavior could be asked for for any of the side componenets (think thunar, terminal, etc.) As such I'd just recomend either being more selective or copying the metabuild into an overlay and removing the dep on xfprint. If you can come up with a compelling reason to persuade me otherwise please reopen the bug. Thanks, --Dan
