Bug 629168 – media-gfx/gimp-2.9.6 missing glib-networking dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Harding 2017-08-28 12:45:50 UTC]

Gimp 2.9.6 added a hard dependency on glib-networking with SSL suppport (https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/commit/?id=bb196607693b2a8fa95f033966506cbf3c377d81) but this dependency is not reflected in the ebuild.  If glib-networking is not installed, or is built with -ssl, gimp will fail to build.

For what it's worth, using --without-appdata-test doesn't make the dependency optional despite what build.log is hinting. It's disappointing that an image editor requires network access.

Excellent report, thanks!  Should be fixed now:
