The dependency on spidermonkey (which pulls in also python-2.7) is redundant. The spidermonkey plugin is not built by default anymore and the ebuild is not asking for it. Consult the source file avidemux_plugins/ADM_scriptEngines/CMakeLists.txt where it is commented out. Cf. also Bug #721710. Reproducible: Always
The ebuild could use some polishing and more use flags to make more plugins optional and use system libraries, e.g. the python scripting plugin, ffmpeg dependency etc.
What's the problem here? Simply removing the spidermonkey dep DOES NOT AFFECT the build at all, you can check for yourself. See also bug #777909 for bumped ebuilds.
Confirm this one. I also can add that for me the dependency blocks a deep update world by trying to pull in python 2.7. But if I simply rebuild the spidermonkey and avidemux-plugins independently the python 2.7 dep does not trigger. Which is confusing to me. To bypass I unmerged =dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.8.5-r9 =media-libs/avidemux-plugins-2.7.6 =media-video/avidemux-2.7.6-r1 then edited out the spidermonkey dep from the avidemux-plugins ebuild, then re-merged avidemux.
