I'm reporting this bug because the package in summary fails to build when forcing --as-needed on through spec files (check out http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/11/14/problems-and-mitigation-strategies-for-as-needed for details). Check the attached build log. Thanks, Diego

The ebuild is damn old, bunch of QA violation for current standads, still uses gtk1 (and does not properly depend on it either!). Punt?
(lack of maintainer response means we proceed here, please advise if something is going to happen here) # Jeremy Olexa <darkside@gentoo.org> (11 Jul 2009) # Removed in ~60 days by treecleaners. QA violations, uses gtk1, no Gentoo # maintainer interest. bug 248171 net-print/pnm2ppa

And as some people still use this printer (like me), it would be annoying if it was removed from the portage tree.

Please do not remove this ebuild. The ppd file in foomatic-db-filters-ppds-20080507 includes the line: *FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -r60&& 0%A%Z -sOutputFile=- - | pnm2ppa%C%B -i - -o -" This requires the pnm2ppa executable currently supplied by this ebuild! See also http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml#pnm2ppa The foomatic-db ebuild does not supply any binary drivers as I can see (just a load of xml files). Please advise how to get the printer working with pnm2ppa without installing net-print/pnm2ppa
(In reply to comment #6) > Please do not remove this ebuild. I second that comment. I still use this driver for our old hp deskjet 710c printer. too bad I cannot help. for my information, if this package is removed from portage, I'll have to install it by hand, right?
(In reply to comment #7) > for my information, if this package is removed from portage, I'll have to > install it by hand, right? You can do that but the easiest is to make a local overlay and copy the ebuild to there. But i hope the ebuild will not be removed as serveral people still use it.
fixed all the issues, and unmasked it. enjoy.
