This package was masked: # Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org> (2022-10-30) # Dead package, last release 10 years ago. No reverse dependencies. # Removal on 2022-11-30 media-gfx/gnome-raw-thumbnailer But it is used by nautilus to render thumbnails for Canon RAW (CR2, CRW) or Nicon RAW (NEF) files. I don't know why there is no reverse dependencies. I would rather add use flag to `gnome-base/nautilus` package, so it pulls this depdency if you add flag raw. Reproducible: Always

It looks like we are about the only distro that ships this package: https://repology.org/project/gnome-raw-thumbnailer/versions The git repository is archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-raw-thumbnailer/-/commits/master There appears to be a fork here with more recent commits (but still the last commit is from 6 years ago): https://github.com/angryziber/gnome-raw-thumbnailer The fork doesn't build without patching. I have to apply our gnome-raw-thumbnailer-3.0.0-libopenraw-0.1.patch patch to get it to detect libopenraw in ./configure, but then configure still fails with > config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in' etc, etc. I can ultimately get it to build, but I am not planning to be the upstream maintainer, which is what you're effectively asking me to do. None of this seems hard, but it needs an upstream maintainer, and I'm already at my limit.
Got it. No pressure from me. Totally understand your concern. And from: 1. Be maintainer of this project 2. Accept that RAW file going to be w/o thumbnails in nautilus. I'm choosing #2. :-) Thanks anyway that you spent some time for investigation.
Sorry :(
