Description Ingo Brunberg 2007-08-06 23:05:50 UTC

bmpx-0.40.0_rc3 has far fewer USE flags than bmpx-0.36.1. The only one I am personally missing is the "ofa" flag. It pulls in a lot of dependencies I do not really like.

Reproducible: Always

There are definitely USE flags missing. All gst-plugin-* dependencies are missing, so you are not able to play audio files. You have to install them separately.

That's correct. They are optional runtime deps, and not required for building. So, when user added USE="speex" or whatever on, he was forced to rebuild bmpx without any reason and it's a 30 minute compile on my machine. So instead we leave it up to the user to install whatever plugins he wants, no rebuilding required.

Added a message in end of installation..

        einfo
        elog "You have to install gst-plugins you want yourself,"
        elog "they are optional runtime depends."
