Description Frank Krömmelbein 2014-02-08 13:50:59 UTC

Is it possible to make some dependencies optional via useflag, for example:

app-text/libmwaw - Library parsing many pre-OSX MAC text formats
app-text/libabw - Library parsing abiword documents
app-text/libwpd - WordPerfect Document import/export library
...

I think most users of this software here, do not have any of those files. 
So it would be nice to make some of these optional?


Reproducible: Always

Unfortunately that's not supported by the upstream build system. 

Please file a bug at https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/ instead.
