Hi, |
| 2 |
|

Recently, GIMP got it's first development version based on gegl. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Now, gegl has 13 optional dependencies that could be use-flagged. The pity is, |
| 6 |
it has no configure-option for most of them, they are autodetected. |
| 7 |
(It's about gtk, ruby, lua, cairo, pango, libpng, openexr, rsvg, sdl, |
| 8 |
asciidoc, enscript, graphviz and ffmpeg) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
My experience with the gimp developers in the past was that they weren't very |
| 11 |
pleased by bugs about automagic deps and I assume if I post them without |
| 12 |
patches, they'll get closed immediately. Now I always avoided to dig too deep |
| 13 |
into autotools, so I don't feel skilled enough for this task. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Is there some brave gentoo dev (or non-dev, doesn't really matter) |
| 16 |
volunteering to send patches to gegl-upstream? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Beside, I'm asking myself how to handle this situation. Hard-enable them all |
| 20 |
as long as there are no patches? Let the automagic go in the tree? Opinions |
| 21 |
welcome. |
