Bug 602506 – =net-print/hplip-3.16.11-r1 should be available without QT interface

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xavier Miller (RETIRED) 2016-12-13 06:59:05 UTC]

the new net-print/hplip-3.16.11-r1 ebuild forces QT even if -qt4 and -qt5 are set.

Hplip can work on headless servers without the QT interface.

Please, add a conditional on qt4/qt5 and don't force qt4 if qt5 is unset.

You can switch on USE=minimal which gets rid of the GUI.

[Comment 2 Xavier Miller (RETIRED) 2016-12-13 08:09:46 UTC]

If I enable minimal, the scanner deps are not active...

[Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner 2016-12-13 09:47:05 UTC]

The easiest solution here would be dropping USE=qt4. Qt4 is deprecated anyway (see also: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Qt/Policies#Handling_different_versions_of_Qt), and then qt5 becomes the flag to enable or disable the GUI.

@Dennis: Permission to drop USE=qt4 in the ongoing PR?

Yeah, qt4 USE flag is dropped, but if qt5 is disabled, it enables QT 4

Yes, what I actually meant of course is dropping !qt5 dependencies.
