Description Alexander Zubkov 2007-02-07 11:50:50 UTC
New xfprint hard depends on cups and this is not good, I think. It can be compiled without it. Why not add USE-flag?
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-07 11:59:03 UTC
Cups provides both cups and lpr backends to xfprint.
Comment 2 Alexander Zubkov 2007-02-07 12:20:42 UTC
And what if I don't have net-print/cups and don't want to install it?
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-07 12:21:58 UTC
Then don't use xfprint, easy.
Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-07 12:45:11 UTC
Reopen to dupe.

Ha-ha. :) But this is not a solution.
xfprint CAN work without cups.
I can disable cups manually in my overlay with each release.
But is it very big problem to add USE-flag so all gentoo users can choose what they want? I thought gentoo is made with flexibility in mind.
It is maintainer choice at all, but I want to here more reasonable reject than "cups is enough" or "don't use". If You have not such - say "I want it that way only. For my personal reasons.", then I'll leave it.

I've already reopened the original bug, so kindly keep your ranting directed to /dev/null, ktnxbye.
