Description Stefan Sperling 2005-01-23 05:23:30 UTC

(This bug report could be viewed as a followup to bug #16288)

If use gif is set, the ebuild depends on media-libs/libgif.
quote:
	gif? ( media-libs/giflib )

If use !gif is set, the ebuild depends on media-libs/libungif.
quote:
	!gif? ( media-libs/libungif )

I wonder why gif support is added at all if use !gif is set.

There should rather be a lwz useflag that determines whether to use
libgif or libungif, instead of using the gif useflag for this purpose.

this is fixed in mplayer-1.0_pre6:

  23 Jan 2005; Chris White <chriswhite@gentoo.org>
  mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5.ebuild, mplayer-1.0_pre6.ebuild:
  Fixed bug #78209. Also removed the gif lib logic in pre6 as it's no longer
  required (fixed upstream) and now gif is a true enable/disable style flag.
