gcompris-8.1 was just released. Please find below an ebuild for it. I have cleaned-up the dependencies (some were added, some simplified, some implicit/unneeded were removed). Also, since so many activities now use python, since gnome-python isn't needed any more, and since python is in the base profile anyway, I thought it made little sense to keep the python USE flag.

Created attachment 99835 [details] gcompris-8.1.ebuild The ebuild.
Please file a new bug that improves the 8.1 ebuild already in portage. Thanks.
As promised on irc, here's the list of the improvements and fixes I suggest for gcompris-8.1. New required dependencies : * media-gfx/tuxpaint * sci-electronics/gnucap Should be in RDEPEND but not in DEPEND : * gnuchess * tuxpaint * gnucap Not needed : * inherit eutils * dev-python/gnome-python About python, I would drop the USE flag and make it a mandatory dependency. here's why : * A lot of popular activities are now using python * python is in the base profile * there's always the objection of the number of additional dependencies, but gcompris is already more than 80 megs itself (not counting the mandatory dependencies) * as far as I remember, python was made optional at some point mainly because it was problematic, which doesn't seem to be the case anymore There is also now support for gnet, but Bruno Coudoin himself says it's rather useless at this time. So I'd wait for future versions before adding it.
Created attachment 100918 [details, diff] gcompris-8.1.ebuild.diff A patch against the current ebuild implementing the suggestions above.
There were some changes made to the ebuild yesterday.

Sorry, I always feel like I sync'ed 5 minutes ago, but apparently not. The suggestions are still valid, though. The patch needed a bit of fixing, so here it is again.
No, forcing python on isn't an improvement. Not going to accept that part of the patch. the eutils change is good. take gnuchess out of the second RDEPEND, it's required to build so it's already in the first one.
Well, I added the two additional rdeps you mentioned for 8.2. Since I don't want to force the python deps on eveyone, I think this is as fixed as it's going to get. Any patch for 8.2 should go in a new bug. Thanks.
