I (and I assume others, too) need a theming engine for GTK3. Awaita appears to be wide-spread. None of the following dependencies is required to successfully compile Awaita et al: [ebuild N ] dev-perl/XML-NamespaceSupport-1.110.0 51 kB [ebuild N ] perl-core/Storable-2.20 174 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/XML-SAX-0.16 59 kB [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-Storable-2.20 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/XML-LibXML-1.70 332 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/XML-Simple-2.180.0 70 kB [ebuild N ] x11-misc/icon-naming-utils-0.8.90 69 kB If gnome-theme-standard comprises parts which actually require these packages (which I have not noticed during configure), I suggest making it USE flags and otherwise purging the deps. Reproducible: Always
I guess I should have been more specific and looked better: The dependency is actually icon-naming-utils. Guessing again, I think that sensibly fulfils a purpose. Yet, it would be nice if one could only get the theming engine.
gnome-themes-standard depends on icon-naming-utils, it depends on XML-Simple, that one depends on that perl modules you are listing
I beg to differ. I can compile gnome-themes-standard just fine without icon-naming-utils. If icon-naming-utils is required for anything, it is an optional and thus isolated operation icons - a good idea for a USE flag.
Cedric, you are correct, icon-naming-utils is not used anywhere in the gnome-themes-standard build system. It had been added to the build-time dependency list by accident; this has now been fixed. > 09 Dec 2011; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> > gnome-themes-standard-3.0.2.ebuild, gnome-themes-standard-3.2.1.ebuild: > icon-naming-utils not needed (bug #393545, thanks to Cedric for reporting).
Cedric, sorry from my part :)
np - I have a history in being slightly obsessed with dependency minimization so I'm happy I was actually correct for once ;)
