Created attachment 472344 [details] ffmulticonverter-1.8.0.ebuild I came across this converter : https://sites.google.com/site/ffmulticonverter/ >FF Multi Converter is a simple graphical application for Linux which enables you >to convert audio, video, image and document files between all popular formats, by >utilizing other command-line tools. It uses FFmpeg for audio/video files, the >ImageMagick software suite for image conversions and unoconv for document files. I wrote an ebuild here : https://github.com/Petross404/testing/blob/master/media-video/ffmulticonverter/ffmulticonverter-1.8.0.ebuild Unfortunatelly I won't be able to maintain it after the next weekend and for the next 8 - 9 months.

Thank you for sharing the ebuild. I think the LICENSE is wrong. It looks like GPL-3 to me, but please check this carefully. Is it still under active development?

You are right about the Licence. Also I didn't know an ebuild already existed : http://data.gpo.zugaina.org/ROKO__/media-video/ffmulticonverter/ffmulticonverter-1.8.0.ebuild This one makes use of USE flags but has an older EAPI. Also we will soon find out if it still under development : https://github.com/Ilias95/FF-Multi-Converter/issues/57

I think that's a green light to go on. Also I don't think that USE Flags should be used in order to pull the dependencies unless we find a way to disable them in the source code. If someone more experienced thinks otherwise, we will find a solution. Perphaps something like this would be better : pkg_postinst() { if ! ( has_version "media-video/ffmpeg" ) ; then ewarn "The program does NOT require ffmpeg to run," ewarn "but you won't be able to convert media files." fi if ! ( has_version "media-gfx/imagemagick" ) ; then ewarn "The program does NOT require ImageMagick to run," ewarn "but you won't be able to convert image files." fi if ! ( has_version "app-office/unoconv" ) ; then ewarn "The program does NOT require unoconv to run," ewarn "but you won't be able to convert between LO files." fi }
I got this blocker when emerging @world to update : [blocks B ] media-video/ffmpeg:0 ("media-video/ffmpeg:0" is blocking media-video/libav-12) I read : https://github.com/Ilias95/FF-Multi-Converter/blob/master/README.txt >Optional dependencies >---------------------- >ffmpeg >imagemagick >unoconv So libav can be removed.
