Well...
Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2007-12-14 22:03:20 UTC
BTW, why does it depends on something (rox-extra/videothumbnail) that depends on mplayer ?

Reopen with errors in English; set your locales to C when reporting bugs.
Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2007-12-14 22:24:16 UTC
Well, really...
That one could be guessed - it's 'No such file or directory'
Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-14 22:31:01 UTC
Guessing is completely useless for any search purposes. Please respect the fact that we don't want errors in $random language, it makes bugzilla useless plus wastes developers time when fixing bugs.

OK, you can ignore this bug. It was still early after my last sync, so I got the ebuild from gentoo-portage.com, but it seems that this site got an invalid (maybe early) version of the ebuild. When I got the current one it worked.

Still, it sucks that it now depends on either mplayer or tomem, as I hate both (mplayer for backwards GUI, totem for the whole Gnome concept - whoever thought out HIG should be tortured for several millenniums, in example by being forced to watch a movie that has a slightly wrong color balance and audio just slightly out of sync, but nobody has added an option to tune that little detail).

Sorry for the above, it's my standard anti-Gnome rant. I believe the whole concept is flawed. My favorite quote on the topic : "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot- proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.". When a program doesn't have a sane list of configuration options, it's usability is often simply shot.

Well, I suppose I could make videothumbnail be USE-flag dependent.  But it is somewhat "required" by rox, in that if you go into Options / Thumbnails, there is a "Video thumbnails" button there, which tries to run videothumbnail when you click it.

I agree that this is kind of silly for upstream to do, but that's what they did, hence it is a runtime dependency.

But yes, a USE flag may be smart since it does bring in mplayer or totem, both of which are big and ugly... I'll see what I can do.
Comment 7 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-17 15:06:35 UTC
Okay, did it.  rox-2.7-r2 now has IUSE=video, which is on by default (using the new fancy IUSE defaults provided by EAPI=1).

Enjoy!
