Bug 116289 – Download only svg images from openclipart

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Peter Dedecker 2005-12-21 08:27:36 UTC]

At the website openclipart.org, you can download the package in two versions: only svg files or the full version including png files.  The package x11-misc/openclipart has several use flags: doc gzip pdf png svg wmf.  I think it should be bether to only download the svg-version when the png-useflag isn't set.  The big differences are packet size and so download speed.

The difference is not so big, and if openclipart.org provided "split" packages (one for PNG, one for SVG and so on) it would be possible.

[Comment 2 Peter Dedecker 2005-12-28 11:05:55 UTC]

No, I don't think so.  If you only need svg, the other package provided by openclipart.org can be downloaded, wich is smaller.

Created attachment 75803 [details]
openclipart-0.18-r1.ebuild

Could you test this version. If only svg is in USE (no doc!) (with or without gzip - it doesn't matter) it downloads the smaller (79MB vs 112MB) tarball.

Peter could you test the attached ebuild?

[Comment 6 Peter Dedecker 2006-03-03 17:10:12 UTC]

Sorry for the delay, but I was on vacation and the e-mail dissapeared in my inbox ;-)

I don't think the ebuild works.  I recieve this:

$ emerge -pvt openclipart

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] x11-misc/openclipart-0.18-r1 [0.18] -doc -gzip* -pdf* -png* +svg -wmf* 0 kB [1]

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
 [1] /usr/local/portage


Is this normal?

[Comment 7 Krzysztof Pawlik (RETIRED) 2006-03-08 02:38:30 UTC]

To test it try those commands:

USE="-* svg" emerge -pvf '=x11-misc/openclipart-0.18-r1'

and 

USE="svg png" emerge -pvf '=x11-misc/openclipart-0.18-r1'

First should only download -svgonly.tar.bz2 file and the second should download -full.tar.bz2

[Comment 8 Peter Dedecker 2006-03-09 04:47:56 UTC]

OK, works:

peddecke@leffe ~ $ USE="-* svg" emerge -pvf '=x11-misc/openclipart-0.18-r1'
