Description Srubs 2007-07-30 20:53:40 UTC
The USE FLAGS to disable MSN and AIM/ICQ protocols are not available in kopete ebuilds. Just add in ebuilds :

        use msn || kopete_disable protocol msn
        use aim_icq || kopete_disable protocol oscar

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
USE="-msn -aim_icq" emerge -vp kopete



Sorry for my english

No, we are not making features that have no additional dependencies optional so that other users would moan that kopete is 'missing' icq/msn support as they've forgotten to add those flags (Bug 150974 and others).

It's the meaning of use flags: disable features that we don't use, no ? I don't understand why this two protocols are 'imposed' by gentoo :-/

goodbye.

Get back to us when IUSE defaults are allowed in gentoo-x86; until then, not worth the PITA.
Comment 4 Hamlet 2007-07-31 11:43:42 UTC
Why don't you add a "nomsn" etc. for that ebuild, then?

use nomsn && kopete_disable protocol msn

The statemente about choices Gentoo is based on would be safe, and no additional pain would be caused to users.

Because no* flags are broken by design. Please, don't request such things, see comment #3.
