Description R Bar-On 2007-08-20 14:21:11 UTC
Kile is a IDE for LaTeX documents.  The new version apparently has many improvements and it would be great to have an ebuild to test.

Reproducible: Always

I've added app-editors/kile-2.0_beta1 to the tree. It's currently package.mask'ed because it currently doesn't feature localisations in contrast to the previous versions and because it's a beta release. 

Thus, you'll have to add it to /etc/portage/package.unmask to try it.

Wow, that was quick :)

Thanks.  I'll try it and report back.

Could a png USE flag be added that pulls in dvipng?

There's a new previewing option that uses it.

Yes, I'm aware of that. Please take a look at the post-install message - we not only would have to add quite a few USE-conditional dependencies but what would we draw in if you had the "png" USE flag set? dvipng or Imagemagick? Or "pdf" - acroread or kpdf? And so on. 

We usually don't add USE-conditional dependencies for optional runtime dependencies because they rarely ever make much sense. 

Instead, we usually add post-install messages as in this case to inform our users about the options they have. If you use the ELOG_* options in /etc/make.conf smartly (e. g. I get all messages mailed to me), it's rather easy to follow up if you face any problems.
