Since gegl-0.4.18 now has [introspection?] on its babl dep, and gegl's own IUSE has +introspection, can you add +introspection to IUSE on babl as well so that the USE requirement is fulfilled by default? Thanks
Hi Ben, I get the idea. I couldn't find a reason why gegl has +introspection right now. Would dropping the plus on gegl side be an equal, better or worse solution to you?
I would be fine either way. I tried to dig into git/cvs history to see why the IUSE default was originally added, without success. Going back to CVS days [1], 0.2.0-r1 had it IUSE="introspection" then 0.2.0-r2 had a commented "# +introspection" saying it was broken. I cannot see why it was +'d. Gnome profiles already enable the flag globally, and disabling it on gegl here locally on my kde plasma setup doesn't seem to cause any problems. So I believe it should be safe to drop the + [1] https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-libs/gegl/?hideattic=0
I'll drop it from gegl then. Thanks for the research!

It's standard amongst GNOME packages to default enable this in all cases. In this case it looks like just libmypaint[introspection] uses it, and that doesn't default enable it either yet, and actually has no consumers itself. So meanwhile it seems fine to not default enable this. I suggest default enabling the lot once there's any hard or default requirements for it, though.
