Bug 165747 – xfce-base/xfprint-4.4.0 hard depends on net-print/cups

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 160671
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Zubkov 2007-02-07 11:50:50 UTC]

New xfprint hard depends on cups and this is not good, I think. It can be compiled without it. Why not add USE-flag?

[Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-02-07 11:59:03 UTC]

Cups provides both cups and lpr backends to xfprint.

[Comment 2 Alexander Zubkov 2007-02-07 12:20:42 UTC]

And what if I don't have net-print/cups and don't want to install it?

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-02-07 12:21:58 UTC]

Then don't use xfprint, easy.

Reopen to dupe.

Ha-ha. :) But this is not a solution.
xfprint CAN work without cups.
I can disable cups manually in my overlay with each release.
But is it very big problem to add USE-flag so all gentoo users can choose what they want? I thought gentoo is made with flexibility in mind.
It is maintainer choice at all, but I want to here more reasonable reject than "cups is enough" or "don't use". If You have not such - say "I want it that way only. For my personal reasons.", then I'll leave it.

I've already reopened the original bug, so kindly keep your ranting directed to /dev/null, ktnxbye.
