I don't know if the problem was already discussed here, but i want to |
2 |
propose a possible solution. The problem is that gnome related stuff |
3 |
requires gdk-pixbuf to be compiled with gnome (gnome-libs) support. |
4 |
But i think the problem is not in the gdk-pixbuf ebuild. In fact you |
5 |
could use a optional gnome support in gdk-pixbuf with use value. Later, |
6 |
looking in /var/db/pck/...../RDEPEND and USE you could easily see the |
7 |
REAL package dependency. So the gnome ebuild should look if gdk-pixbuf |
8 |
was compiled with or without gnome-libs support, and require it to be |
9 |
re-emerged with gnome support if necessary. |
10 |
Looking to RDEPEND and USE files could also easily solve two other |
11 |
problem: re-emerging packages that depend on a library when it is |
12 |
upgraded / unmerged or unmerge these packages when they can't be |
13 |
compiled without the package that has been unmerged. |
14 |
One last suggestion: i thing it should be easy to implement, and very |
15 |
usefull, to see what use value are involved in meging a specific package |
16 |
(and if they are included (ex: gnome) or excluded (ex: -avi) ). |
