Description Rafał Mużyło 2013-06-04 21:56:05 UTC
It was released about a week ago.
The important new feature is that the build system is finally somewhat working, that is optional dependencies can be disabled now.

See NEWS file.

You're not the only one - I've sent him a sort of working patch about 8 months ago, there was (still is ?) also at least one bug about it in upstream bugzilla.

:roll: Let's just call it a mater of differing priorities. As annoying as it might be, it can't be really helped.

Fixed in cvs. Thanks for the report.
Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2013-06-05 15:01:34 UTC
Just a little thing: AFAIU, the recent posts on the list suggest, that 'glib' should be a +flag, if at all (as the biggest harbuzz consumer is recent pango, AFAIK).

Though the author is right there - just about anything that needs it, duplicates unicode data.
Comment 5 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-06-05 17:16:42 UTC
Not to argue but i think libreoffice is bigger consumer of harfbuzz ;-)

Anyway the glib is needed for the pango and i didn't want to break a thing.

In the set only really required are truetype and || ( glib icu )
Problem is that with enabled icu it builds also icu-le which on other you don't want, so i went with glib.

Not that it matters much, but depends how you count it - libreofice might be *single* largest (baring perhaps chromium), but pango means just about anything using gtk+.
