Hi all, |

|
| 3 |
this should probably asked on the developers list but I am not subscribed to |
| 4 |
it. Maybe, enough gentoo developers are on this list as well. ;-) |

Who made gdk-pixbuf dependent on gnome-libs? |

>From the ebuild: |

|
| 11 |
RDEPEND="media-libs/jpeg |
| 12 |
media-libs/tiff |
| 13 |
=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* |
| 14 |
>=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1 |
| 15 |
amd64? ( sys-libs/db ) |
| 16 |
!amd64? ( <sys-libs/db-2 ) |
| 17 |
>=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1" |
| 18 |
# We need gnome-libs here, else gnome support do not get compiled into |
| 19 |
# gdk-pixbuf (the GnomeCanvasPixbuf library ) |

It pulls gnome-libs and, through gnome-libs I guess orbit, in although it does |
| 23 |
not really depend on gnome. If there is an optional dependency on gnome it |
| 24 |
should respect my "-gnome" USE flag setting. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Lot's of pure gtk apps depend on gdk-pixbuf but don't depend on gnome or |
| 27 |
orbit. I should be able to emerge that library without pulling all the other |
| 28 |
stuff in I have no use of. |

Why do consumers keep buying products they will live to curse? |
