Summary:	File-roller should have use flags for less-common archive types (and corresponding dependencies)
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Kevin Lyles <kevinlyles>
Component:	[OLD] GNOME	Assignee:	Gentoo Linux Gnome Desktop Team <gnome>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	enhancement
Priority:	High
Version:	unspecified
Hardware:	All
OS:	All
Whiteboard:
Package list:		Runtime testing required:	---
Attachments:	Proposed patch for file-roller-2.14.3.ebuild Proposed patch for file-roller-2.14.4.ebuild Proposed patch for file-roller-2.16.2.ebuild Proposed patch for file-roller-2.16.3.ebuild

Description Kevin Lyles 2007-03-03 05:30:11 UTC

See the summary.  Also, see xfce-extra/xarchiver for something like what I mean: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/xfce-extra/xarchiver/Dep#ptabs

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge -pv file-roller
Actual Results:  
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-arch/file-roller-2.16.2  USE="-debug -gnome" 0 kB

Expected Results:  
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-arch/file-roller-2.16.2  USE="7zip rar zip -arj -debug -gnome -lha" 0 kB

I'm willing to try making the changes to the ebuild, but I haven't done it before, so I will probably need a bit of guidance.

I think this covers it for at least the same archive types as xarchiver.

We've already talked about this before, and we have decided against doing this as use flags are only meant for build time deps. Runtime deps such as file compression programs for file-roller don't change the final binary so it's against gentoo practices to put useflags for that.
