app-dic/fandisdic depends on dev-ruby/ruby-gnome2 which isn't required for fantasdic 1.0-beta4 in README: Requirements ------------ Ruby >= 1.8.0: http://www.ruby-lang.org GTK+ >= 2.6: http://www.gnome.org Ruby-GTK2 >= 0.14.1 [*]: http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp Ruby-GetText >= 0.6.1 [**]: http://ponx.s5.xrea.com/hiki/ruby-gettext.html Intltool [**]: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fintltool [*]: Required libraries are: Ruby/Libglade2, Ruby/Gtk2 and Ruby/GdkPixbuf2. Ruby-GTK2 0.16 is however highly recommended. [**]: Optional. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
The README is clearly incomplete, e.g. dev-ruby/ruby-gconf2 required by preferences.rb is missing.
ruby-gconf2 is optional, I just installed fantasdic without ruby-gnome2 and everything works fine. Moreover, find -name '*.rb' -exec grep require {} \; | sed 's/^ *'//g shows: require 'libglade2' require 'gtk2' require 'fantasdic/ui/glade_base' require 'fantasdic/ui/utils' require 'fantasdic/ui/alert_dialog' require 'fantasdic/ui/about_dialog' require 'fantasdic/ui/preferences_dialog' require 'fantasdic/ui/add_dictionary_dialog' require 'fantasdic/ui/combobox_entry' require 'fantasdic/ui/matches_listview.rb' require 'fantasdic/ui/result_text_view' require 'fantasdic/ui/print' if Fantasdic::UI::SUPPORTS_PRINT require 'fantasdic/ui/ipc' require 'fantasdic/ui/main_app' require 'singleton' require 'yaml' require "gconf2" This program requires Ruby 1.8.0 or lator . require 'socket' require 'socket' require 'md5' require 'pp' # pretty print require 'optparse' require 'singleton' require "win32/pipe" require "base64" require "drb" Clearly, only gconf2 is used, and in preferences.rb. It is for the prefered browser and is optional (if gconf2 is not found the exception is silently discarded). Isn't a use-flag appropriate for this situation ?
