Hello,
I discussed this on the gentoo-user-fr list, and it has come that
it should be posted here.
I was working at xcave ebuild, and I have a classical nls conf:
IUSE="nls"
econf $(use_enable nls) || die "Error: econf failed!"
What has brought questions is the depend line:
DEPEND="nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )"
In fact, gettext is not needed either for compiling (.po files
are pre-compiled) neither for running them. In most ebuilds using
nls, this depend line exists; either it shouldn't, and thus
removing it from non-needing ebuilds (for example, freetype-1 or
xine-lib), either it should be in dep or rdep. I can't find any
policy about this, nor anything on the lists.
Arnaud.
