Description Tim Redman 2005-08-21 10:59:42 UTC
There has been some question in the past if the webcollage module of
xscreensaver could contain potentially offensive content.  Since is crawls the
web for random images, and the web has a reputation for having its shadier
sides, this is bound to be a possibility.

This patch is an addendum to the NSFW (not suitable for work) patch made
originally in 4.16.  Instead of adding to that patch, and possibly breaking
emerges before 4.22, I've included this as a separate patch.  Also included is a
patch for the ebuild itself.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
This patch removes the webcollage module from the build, provided that the
"offensive" USE flag is set.

This is only my second ebuild/patch ever, so take any effectiveness of this
revision with a grain of salt.  Any input from more seasoned developers would be
most appreciated.

Patches to follow in the next few comments.

Since this also removes i18n strings from .po files, this patch may be a little
bit overkill, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.  However,
because of the number of files this patches, any testing input would be
appreciated.

Could you test this (smaller) patch?

Seems to work fine so far.  Apologies for the overkill.  I was being overzealous
in my removal attempts.  I'll update if I notice anything.
Comment 5 Krzysztof Pawlik (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-25 04:20:07 UTC
Fixed.
