Description Stefan Böttner 2006-06-09 12:07:29 UTC

dev-python/gnome-python-destkop has dependancy gnome-extra/gnome-media which in turn has some gst-plugins as dependancies which triggers media-libs/gstreamer. The USE flag "-gstreamer" is ignored, apparently, so I don't have a chance to build gnome-python-desktop without being forced to build gstreamer.

Comment 1 Lukas Sandström 2006-07-29 05:00:09 UTC

You can emerge it with --oneshot --nodeps as a workaround, since the
configure-script will automatically detect which dependencies that are
installed (se below).

I suggest adding local use-flags for this package, so people don't
have to install gstreamer, totem, nautilus and metacity just to get
the gtksourceview component.

As you say, it is unavoidable. useflags are for optional dependencies, it is not optional here apparently.

If you want a gstreamer flag for gnome-pthon-desktop, please fix the build script to support module selection flags (--enable/disable-x).

Much of gnome hard-deps on gstreamer, it's not always optional anymore.
