First of all, I never said for my specific case. one person put in a bug for |
| 19 |
filechooser icons, at least 2 people (including me) asked it be removed. So |
| 20 |
not just for me. I should just sit back and like that you added more deps, |
| 21 |
without saying anything? Apparently I'm not alone in need of a grip on |
| 22 |
reality. Also in your first paragraph you say 'partially less usable lib' and |
| 23 |
in your second paragraph 'unusable filechooser'. There has been no evidence |
| 24 |
that the lack of icons or libxml2 or any of the "new" deps have rendered any |
| 25 |
part of the lib unusable. Im quite sure that files to be chosen are the same |
| 26 |
files regardless of whether or not they show a pretty icon or not. As for the |
| 27 |
lame "we have too many USE flags" argument- you have use flags for tiff and |
| 28 |
jpeg.. the only packages really listed by gtk.org as deps. The message coming |
| 29 |
across now is "my make stuff pretty deps are not optional, but the required |
| 30 |
deps determined by the upstream authors are optional." Hmmm. |
