Description Dustin J. Mitchell 2006-04-17 17:06:12 UTC

I'd like to use quilt on a development server, which doesn't have X installed.  It would be great if I could use
 USE="-graphviz" emerge quilt
to compile without the graphviz dependencies!  I don't think there's any difference in the actual install, although I suppose it would be nice to not include the 'quilt graph' command if graphviz isn't found.

Sorry, I'm a complete newb to ebuilds or I'd post a patch.

patch to ebuild

OK, that wasn't so hard.  This was against 0.42, but should work against 0.44 too.

ah, it looks like I don't know how to add a new USE flag to the system so that equery gives a decent description of it.  This installs correctly now, but equery describes the graphv flag as "<unknown>".

graphviz does not require X unless you have USE=tcltk set. The patch is not correct, quilt won't work fully, as you've also noted in your first comment. Anyway, there's no need for this.
