Description Adrian 2011-11-30 14:09:59 UTC

The irssi-xmpp ebuild requires net-libs/loudmouth[debug].
Requiring a debug use flag on a library looks seems to be questionable.

IMO it should be either removed or a proper comment added to the ebuild why this is needed.

Reproducible: Always

It's just been there when I inherited this package. Never investigated if it's really needed. I have done it now and it seems to be unnecessary. Thanks for the report.

After investigation, irssi-xmpp needs loudmouth[debug] to avoid xml errors in the ain window.
