Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-05 17:34:25 UTC 
Please enable "openexr" USE flag in 2007.1 desktop profiles.
Comment 1 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-05 18:00:10 UTC 
Perhaps you can tell us what it's used for and why you want it added.
Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-05 18:04:46 UTC 
It enables support for OpenEXR graphics file format.
"gif", "png", "svg", "tiff" etc. USE flags have similar function and are defaultly enabled in desktop profiles.
Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-05 18:10:22 UTC 
They're enabled by default because people will be missing functionality that they really want.  If we removed jpg or png support, people would complain.  You're the first person to *ever* request OpenEXR, which I've never even heard of.  As such, I don't think it is really a candidate for being enabled by default.  If you get the arch teams to buy in that it should be enabled, I'll reconsider/REOPEN, but otherwise, I'm marking this as WONTFIX for 2007.1's release.
