In a sentence: Upstream plasma-workspace isn't (yet) requiring pipewire so it should be a USE flag. kde overlay commit d1bb894c3 requires pipewire, but it's explicitly /not/ an upstream plasma-workspace requirement. Neither of the upstream commits mentioned in the (overlay) commit, plasma-workspace 157a82d78 and 949aaf7b0, "require" it, and the packager's announcement says it's "(for now optional)"[1]. Additionally, I've updated plasma-workspace at least twice since those (upstream) commits without installing pipewire, so I know for certain it's not required, either to build or to run. Of course the normal Gentoo way to deal with such options are USE flags so I propose adding a wirepipe USE flag, at least until such time as upstream actually does start requiring it. Given upstream's justification is wayland desktop recording/streaming and remote-desktop sharing and many users/distros likely staying on X until plasma6, hopefully upstream holds off on making it required at least until then. -- [1] https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/2020-July/011973.html
When you look at the actual upstream commit (mentioned in kde overlay git message) you see it is not optional (header use). https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/157a82d7859f685a30988b5a4c32b9a4b8f06629
Since https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/18b0072f5981ff252112e4e8146779edd46b85e3 inclusions of those headers are inside '#ifdef WITH_PIPEWIRE' blocks.
Thanks, will see how it goes. Yet another sed...
