Description michal.halenka 2014-07-23 07:12:47 UTC

Spell checker (included zim module) depends on gtkspell, but this dependency is not reflected by ebuild. IMHO there should be USE flag, for example "spell" or something like this, which will enable this dependency.

        einfo "Please emerge these packages for additional functionality"
[...]
        einfo "    dev-python/gtkspell-python"

Adding USE flags to merely draw in run-time dependencies is bad practice.
