Hello. Running "inxi --recommends" on my machine yielded: Cpanel::JSON::XS: --output json - required for export...... Missing XML::Dumper: --output xml - Crude and raw.................. Missing Emerging dev-perl/Cpanel-JSON-XS and dev-perl/XML-Dumper resolved this issue.
Thank you for the report. These are no hard dependencies. inxi just needs these for special functions like exports. In order to use all features of inxi you need many other tools, but not everybody wants that. We added some useflags so far. I think the best to go with is a) add an info about inxi --recommends or b) add a useflag full which pulls all dependencies. I will think about it
Found a good solution now: inxi will provide a list with the information package - feature missing/available https://github.com/smxi/inxi/issues/184 The Gentoo user will have full control and we do not flood the package with USE flags for optional packages. I leave the ticket open until all packages are added upstream.
