Bug 293952 – net-irc/smuxi should utilize "gnome" USE flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ayron Jungren 2009-11-21 12:50:37 UTC]

net-irc/smuxi ebuilds pull GNOME-related (optional) dependencies and always enable the GNOME front-end. As Smuxi has a client-server architecture, it should be possible to install just "smuxi-server", without the GNOME interface.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "emerge -p smuxi" without the gnome USE flag

Actual Results:  
Gtk#, Gconf#, etc. are pulled as well as smuxi.

Expected Results:  
Gtk/GNOME specific dependencies should not be pulled as well.

The ebuild currently does not have "gnome" in IUSE, even though it explicitly pulls four Gtk/GNOME libraries.

"gtk" may be a better USE flag, but the interface is called the "GNOME interface" by upstream, and Gconf and Glade are both GNOME components, so IMHO "gnome" is a more appropriate USE flag.

I can confirm that with this ebuild, smuxi-server builds and runs fine without the gnome useflag (and, FWIW, I agree that gnome rather than gtk is the proper flag).

One small issue is that some localization files are still installed for smuxi-frontend-gnome/smuxi-frontend-gnome-irc, but they don't dep on anything else and are relatively insignificant. A brief poke makes me think its probably an upstream issue anyways.
