Hi, i noticed that there is an use flag called "pdf" in the beagle ebuild (0.2.4 - 0.2.6). But it seems to be unnecessary or at least i can't figure out why it's there. I'm not sure if it's really a bug. -- best regards Christoph
*** Bug 134639 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It should be used to depend on whichever package provides the pdf extraction utility
I found this on http://beaglewiki.org/Gentoo_Installation pdf: Enables a simple dependency on app-text/poppler, which will allow PDF files to be indexed.
this is right... pdf use flag pulls poppler (seems to me and to Daniel the best way) to index pdf's with beagle. We don't need xpdf crap backend.
does it really pull poppler ? the use flag is not used anywhere (there is only one occurrence of ``pdf'' within the whole ebuild and thats in IUSE-list). Also see output of the following command: # USE=pdf emerge app-misc/beagle -pve | grep poppler | wc -l 0 Please reopen bug. Thanks
reopening indeed the ebuild isn't right let me investigate what's wrong.
ok the problem was when we moved to 0.2.x series we didn't add the pdf use flag (me and Daniel fault). Daniel is ok to you to add the pdf use flag with a dependency for poppler to fix this bug ?
yes
thank you very much Chris for the report I added the pdf use flag (depends of poppler) to beagle 0.2.6 i will remove the older ones when we commit 0.2.7 to portage when it goes out. Thanks again
