Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2015-01-05 21:05:14 UTC 
The ebuild prints:
====
		einfo "Please emerge these packages for additional functionality"
		einfo "    dev-lang/R"
		einfo "    sci-visualization/gnuplot" ...
====

perhaps this can be emerged with use flags in the ebuild like: 

DEPEND="R? ( dev-lang/R )
gnuplot? ( sci-visualization/gnuplot )"


Reproducible: Always

So you would end up needlessly recompiling zim just to pull in two dependencies? No, that einfo is fine.

Also, that should read RDEPEND as apparently they are run-time dependencies not needed at build time. But it's invalid all the same.
