Bug 200470 – media-sound/alsa-utils - minimal use flag control alsamixer instead of alsaconf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2007-11-27 01:59:44 UTC]

betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-input-penmount $ qlist alsa-utils | xargs grep -l lspci
/usr/sbin/alsaconf
 
I guess this is why the dep is there. alsaconf is not really useful after setting the soundcard up so it would be nice to make the dep optional. If you agree with this I can make a patch for the ebuild.

This seems more of a 'reducing dependency sets because I can' feature that belongs under USE=minimal. Bonus:
- it's global
- it's off by default
- limited support is already implied

Doh, I knew there was a bug, but couldn't find it.

Fixed in alsa-utils-1.0.16-r1

lspci is not used by alsamixer but alsaconf so the ebuild is buggy now

betelgeuse@pena /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.16-r2/work/alsa-utils-1.0.16 $ grep -l lspci -r .
./alsaconf/alsaconf.in
./alsaconf/alsaconf

I took care of this in 1.0.17.
