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