Does it? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
gst-plugins-meta MAY install everything, if all the USE flags |
| 34 |
are set. But I don't quite get, why rb (or any other gst using |
| 35 |
app) should not depend on it. |

Nope, that's not the case. |

But that's not what gst-plugins-meta does. Read the ebuild |
| 49 |
again. It features alsa, oss and what-not USE flags. And only |
| 50 |
if those flags are set, stuff is installed. |

No, that's not the case. Read the bug report and read the bugs |
| 57 |
that Jakub pointed out there. |

Because they belong to the meta package, I suppose. The real |
| 63 |
question rather is, why was rb not updated to depend on -meta. |
| 64 |
I filed https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214852 for that. |

If not, I'll reopen it. |
