As "equery uses git" says, "gtk" use-flag should install gitview contrib tool. But, if use-flag "python" is disabled, this tool won't be installed. After reading ebuild, I've confirmed, that "gtk" use-flag only installs gitview contrib tool, and only if "python" use-flag is enabled. So, required use should be changed from: REQUIRED_USE=" cgi? ( perl ) cvs? ( perl ) subversion? ( perl ) webdav? ( curl ) " to: REQUIRED_USE=" cgi? ( perl ) cvs? ( perl ) subversion? ( perl ) webdav? ( curl ) gtk? ( python ) " Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-python gtk" emerge git Actual Results: Emerge completes successfullty, gitview contrib tool is not installed. Expected Results: Ebuild should exit with error, or at least warn that gitview is not installed. I think it's a bug because "gtk" use-flag does nothing unless "python" use-flag is set. I've read git version 1.7.12.4 and 1.8.1 ebuilds, but I guess other versions are affected too.
After looking a bit, I guess all versions of git starting with 1.7.8.6 are affected.
