In order to use remote sources, which is an essential feature, app-text/sword needs to be compiled with the "curl" use flag. Otherwise retrieval of remote modules does not function. Portage doesn't have the feature for use flags to be dependencies [yet], but the ebuild should at least notify the user to re-emerge sword with USE="curl".
Does bibletime successfully compile even if SWORD was not compiled with curl support?
Curl is only required for downloading modules from remote sources, I'm debating whether making curl a dependency for sword or putting a warning on the bibletime ebuild. Thoughts?
Bibletime compiles successfully without sword. I think a warning in the ebuild should be good enough. I don't know how you can force sword to compile with curl support without changing the ebuild of sword itself. Remote sources are, however, a very essential feature.
Added warnings to ebuild; if you think sword should be automatically compiled with curl support, go ahead and reopen the bug and I'll edit the sword ebuild. Since it is an optional feature in both sword and bibletime, gentoo users should also have that flexibility. If you think there's a better way to handle this issue, please let me know.
