Description Thomas Capricelli 2015-09-07 21:00:20 UTC

I've just installed kde-apps/dolphin-plugins-4.14.3 with the following USE flags:

% emerge -a kde-apps/dolphin-plugins
[ebuild  N    ] kde-apps/dolphin-plugins-4.14.3  USE="git mercurial (-aqua) -bazaar -debug -subversion" 

All plugins are installed, both the actual plugin (.so file) and kde4/services desktop too:

The dependencies are runtime-only, so technically they should not have USE flags at all. This leaves a few options:

1. Make the vcs dependencies mandatory since the plugins are installed unconditionally

2. Implement some downstream hacks to install the various plugins conditionally

3. Remove the use flags and replace with a post-install message.

It would be worth double-checking what happens if the plugin gets activated but the vcs package is missing.

A fix was upstreamed and is now in dolphin-plugins-15.12.2:5 in tree.
