Description yardbird 2005-11-12 01:58:37 UTC

At the present time gst-plugins depends on gconf-2. However this dependence is 
not strictly required, as gst-plugins can be built without gconf support. 
Besides, for those who are not using Gnome (like me :P) gconf pulls some other 
stuff, like orbit, which just adds bloat. 
 
So why don't we make gconf-2 dependency optional and add a "gnome" USE flag to 
the ebuild? The simple attached patch does exactly this.

This is being sorted for gnome 2.14 (gstreamer 0.10).  My local overlay already
has this split.

So please be patient.  Doing this now would affect many stable packages!
