Tried to do an update today. Gnumeric has a new dependancy, namely |
2 |
goffice. Trying to build goffice fails with the following message... |

SVG is an OpenSource replacement for Schlockwave-Trash, to be used for |
28 |
creating singing/dancing webpages. Unicode is great if you're building |
29 |
a desktop for use in the library room of the United Nations. There is |
30 |
no real need for it on a single-language desktop machine. Can someone |
31 |
explain the so-called "logic" behind these mandatory dependancies *IN A |
32 |
SPREADSHEET*? Is there a way to to modify the ebuild to remove the |
33 |
dependancies without blowing up the compile? |
34 |
|
35 |
One reason that linux has finally started to come into its own is that |
36 |
it can fit onto under-specced machines like the OLPC and Asus EEE, on |
37 |
which XP has trouble fitting, and Vista is "totally fuggedaboutit". |
38 |
That advantage risks being ruined if we follow the "Windows Disease" and |
39 |
insist on unnecessarily bloating basic apps. |
