Currently the gnunet package depends on X,gtk, etc... This is because of the GTK client. However, it is an optional client and can be disabled in ./configure. Therefore a "-X" USE flag should disable the building of the GTK client and remove the "X" dependency. I am new to Gentoo and it will take a while to figure the (rather trivial) solution out. If somebody is faster than me... you are welcome to contribute this.
Turned out to be quite easy (portage seems really nice). I haven't tried it out to actually compile it. Will report here if anything breaks. I need help with the checkin (never did it, don't know the procedure). One open issue (how do I determine the *default* state of a USE flag. I suppose 'gtk' should be turned on by default. diff gnunet-0.6.0a.ebuild gnunet-0.6.0b.ebuild 21c21 < =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* --- > gtk? (=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2*) 26c26 < econf `use_enable ipv6` || die --- > econf `use_with gtk` `use_enable ipv6` || die
adapt bug title to reflect reality. We need IUSE="gtk" not "X" here
Last post for now (sorry for the number of postings): 1) I compiled with and without gtk installed and everything went fine. So it works 2) Of course one should use "gtk? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )" AND NOT "gtk? (=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2*)" (as indicated in my diff) 3) I kept the gtk+ dependency as it was. I don't know whether it would work with gtk+2 as well. Probably it should be changed to ">=" ? (or leave it for now as is). Thanks for considering my (first and probably clumsy) patch :)
I don't use this package... (yet!) mholzer, as you were the last one to commit on gnunet... I bequeath this bug to you :)
gtk, mysql, and crypt USE flags added...
