Description Mike Blumenkrantz 2011-09-12 07:48:56 UTC 
Given that the graphite engine is extremely leaky and awful, it seems appropriate that "required" dependencies such as this become USE variables or disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build harfbuzz
2. Leak
3. Not profit


Expected Results:  
Not built graphite, not leaked

As i said in the ebuild, buildsystem needs update, so patches welcome.

I have quite large todolist so I won't get sooner than next month to this.

updated ebuild

This thing is not proper, that is automagic as it was before, it does not obey the useflags, it just allow you to build without the support if the package is not around. But if the package in dep is around it will link with it.

Thats why i said the configure.ac needs update.

Fixed in live ebuild and patch sent upstream for review.
