Description Janvie 2006-12-02 07:26:00 UTC
Recently tunepimp has been bumped to the new version re-enabling muzicbrainz support on amarok. The problem is that a lot of flags in the old ebuild ( flac mp3 perl readline vorbis ) have been removed. I modified the ebuild to make use of the flac USEFLAG again and compiled tunepimp... so far so good.

I belive it should be the same for the other now deprecated USEFLAGS.

Regards

I have added flac to the IUSE list, and modified the RDEPEND to take into account the state of the flag.

This is very wrong, you can't just add use flags and do nothing with them except for making dependencies optional. (That's also the reason why they were removed in the first place, as noted in the ebuild).
