Bug 48548 – media-video/dvdrip has some nasty hard dependencies which should not be necessary

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description kavol 2004-04-21 04:18:43 UTC]

Hello,

I wanted to try dvd::rip, but I have found that it depends on things which should not be needed. One example for all is fping - according to http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/install.cipp#require_brief, this is not needed. Things are the same with many other tools.

Please is somebody willing to do something about it or should I compile without the help of emerge? - This was one of the good things I have heard about Gentoo that it does not pollute the system with software that the user does not want to install ...

Thankyou if someone will fix this and sorry for the superfluous bugreport if I get the Gentoo philosophy wrong.

Have a nice day.

The ebuild could many more USE flags. For example for ogmtools. Most of the stuff I don't want comes with gtk-perl. Here's my emerge -pvt dvdrip.

pena dvdrip # emerge -pvt dvdrip

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Using the url presented, I've adjusted the dvdrip depends accordingly.  Thanks for reporting and using Gentoo!

You still need to move cdrdao, eject and cdrtools under the cdr use flag, mjpegtools under mpeg (well this doesn't seem approative according to use.desc, but maybe the use.desc is wrong). Well thanks for the job so far.

Hmm. It seems that gentoo-portage comes a little bit behind. I would just like to see sys-apps/eject moved under crd use flag. I guess it's not needed without the cd module.

I talked with luckyduck and he said eject would be mandatory. I guess I should do testing before I open my mouth. I will report back here if I have more info.
