Description Mike Morris 2005-02-10 02:15:09 UTC
(Not sure that this really is a bug...)

emerged gift-0.11.6.... everything seems OK after fiddling about a bit.

My aim is to run giftd on a permanently-connected server machines, clients accessing it from elewhere in the LAN, so no X, no sound, nor any other "normal client" software on the server running giftd.

Unmasked gift (and plugins) since I'm willing to take my chances on a non-mission-critical thing like gift :-) but I see that
   emerge -upv gift
wants to pull libogg and libvorbis.

Are these really required for giftd? or is this a bogus dependency introduced by the ebuild?  Surely only clients would require these libs?

Imagemagick is required to extract meta data from image files. Libvorbis is used for extracting meta data from such sound files. To disable this support, you can add the following to /etc/make.conf:
USE="-oggvorbis -imagemagick"

Or, if it's just this package you don't want such dependencies for, feel free to add a line to /etc/portage/package.use:
# echo "net-p2p/gift -oggvorbis -imagemagick" >> /etc/portage/package.use
Comment 2 Florian Ehrenthal 2005-03-06 13:53:08 UTC
the gift website states that imagemagick is no longer a dependency.
libvorbis is still a dependency though.

so the imagemagick useflag can be removed
