Description Eugene Koontz 2002-04-09 13:43:48 UTC

xfig (media-gfx/xfig) needs an executable fig2dev to convert .fig files to  
.eps (encapsulated postscript).  
  
fig2dev is part of the transfig package (media-gfx/transfig). 
 
Therefore, could we have media-gfx/xfig depend on media-gfx/transfig ?

Is this a run-time dependency?  Because looking through the compilation log
(admittedly only briefly) I do not see  any complaints about a missing anything...

Comment 2 Eugene Koontz 2002-04-13 22:41:25 UTC

It's a runtime dependency. XFig tries to call fig2dev when the user wants to
export a figure as encapsulated postscript.

OK, I have added it to the RDEPEND (run-time dependency list) for xfig.  I did
not bump the -r number for the ebuild though.  But if you remerge xfig, it will
pull in transfig now.

Thanks for catching this :)
