Description avx 2010-01-05 03:17:32 UTC

Although Opera-10.50_pre runs fine without gstreamer and gtk, they and their deps get forced into the system by the current ebuild.

Gstreamer is only needed for HTML5-content and should imho be optional, I therefor suggest to introduce a flag like "html5-media" or the usual "gstreamer".

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update Opera to the 10.5_pre
2. see a sh*tload of (for some people) unwanted deps get pulled in
3. freak out

Actual Results:  
Not very gentoo-ish

Expected Results:  
Choice

1) Being the pre-alpha, technology preview that it is,
2) and seeing that it actually segfaults when you try to access <audio> tags and gstreamer isn't (fully) installed,
3) and since Opera, Inc. doesn't even support installing this version so it's all just me and I don't want to be responsible for Opera, Inc. getting bogus bug reports because of missing deps (the built-in bug reporting tool does work, you know)

 this will not be fixed.
