Created attachment 40808 [details, diff] Adds and fixes requirements The attached patch adds the gnome-vfs and gconf requirements, and updates the version requirements of a couple other packages as per the BMP homepage.
fixed in portage
as a sidenote, 0.9.7-r2 has a gnome useflag, but if set, bmp won't be compiled with --enable-gnome-vfs. that should be changed!
Gnome-vfs support breaks nearly all input plugins, so, no, that should not be changed.
