Here's the "emerge -pv okular"
okular is not a 'stinking pdf reader'. Nice try. But just like konqueror it is just a wrapper around kparts and is able to deal with a lot more files than just pdf and postscript. That is what 'modular' and 'code reuse' really means. And the opposite to what gnome does. 'oh, there is an app. Hijack it and gnomify it and make it dependent on 2 douzend gnome libs that all do the same but nobody ever cleaned up'. > output with USE flag listings edited out... you know - useflags or tree would have been so much more meaningful... > > [d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -pv okular | sed " s/USE.*$//" > > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > > Calculating dependencies .... done! > [ebuild R ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r3:5 > [ebuild N ] net-dns/libidn-1.28 > [ebuild N ] kde-base/kde-env-4.12.5:4/4.12 > [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libpcre-8.35:3 > [ebuild N ] app-admin/eselect-qtgraphicssystem-1.1.1 0 kB > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.5-r2:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtscript-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtgui-4.8.5-r3:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtsql-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qt3support-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtdbus-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtsvg-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qttest-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/designer-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtopengl-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] app-crypt/qca-2.0.3:2 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtwebkit-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] dev-qt/qtdeclarative-4.8.5:4 > [ebuild N ] x11-libs/libXScrnSaver-1.2.2-r1 > [ebuild N ] media-libs/libmpeg2-0.5.1-r2 > [ebuild N ] media-libs/libmad-0.15.1b-r7 > [ebuild N ] media-video/vlc-2.1.2:0/5-7 > [ebuild N ] dev-util/automoc-0.9.88 9 kB > [ebuild N ] kde-base/oxygen-icons-4.12.5:4/4.12 > [ebuild N ] media-libs/qimageblitz-0.0.6-r1 > [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libattica-0.4.2 > [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.2 > [ebuild N ] app-misc/strigi-0.7.8 > [ebuild N ] media-libs/phonon-4.6.0-r1 > [ebuild N ] media-libs/phonon-vlc-0.6.2 > [ebuild N ] kde-base/kdelibs-4.12.5-r1:4/4.12 > [ebuild N ] kde-base/katepart-4.12.5:4/4.12 > [ebuild N ] kde-base/libkexiv2-4.12.5:4/4.12 > [ebuild N ] kde-base/okular-4.12.5-r1:4/4.12 > > Total: 35 packages (34 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 309,990 kB > >
