Comment 1 Andre Hinrichs 2004-03-05 05:48:26 UTC
Just installed it with the same ebuild as for gocr-0.37
Only changed netpbm requirement since media-libs/netpbm-10.* is still masked.
Don't know why gocr-0.37 requires it!?
Currently running a test. Recognition seems to be much better as for gocr-0.37.
Could someone please add it at least as masked version?

Added to CVS. Thanks fore reporting.

GOCR doesn't actually need netpbm, but I think we better add it as
dependency to support various image format. Quote from INSTALL:

  gOCR provides some simple functions to read/write pnm archives. Though not
  needed, we strongly suggest, however, that you install the NetPBM package. Its
  official URL is: http://download.sourceforge.net/netpbm/.

  Installing this package will add support to many different image formats.
  If you have a NetPBM version older than August 2000, we suggest that you
  download a more recent one, to take advantage of the new PAM functions.

  To create some of the examples provided, you'll need transfig.
  This is completely optional.

We made transfig optional when doc USE flag is set. We could do the
similar thing for netpbm (adding --without-netpbm to configure script
disables netpbm), but I personally make it depends on netpbm by
default. (So we might add "nonetpbm" local IUSE flag then) Andre, do
you think we should add such a USE flag? (do you want to use that flag
if we create it?)
Comment 3 Andre Hinrichs 2004-03-12 02:33:42 UTC
I think the less USE flags the better...
Mamoru, I agree, gocr should depend on netpbm.
Just voted for unmasking netpbm-10.20 since I couldn't find any remaining problems with it. If it is unmasked it would make this USE flag useless, right?
