  • [gentoo-dev] Enable "gdk-pixbuf" in gnome sub-profiles

    From Pacho Ramos@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 3 16:10:01 2024
    Hello,

    The rationale is briefly explained at:
    https://bugs.gentoo.org/910363

    As gdk-pixbuf upstream is not including support for new formats, people
    usually need to manually enable "gdk-pixbuf" USE for important libs
    such as libheif, libjxl, or libavif.

    At least for Gnome environments, I think that the USE could be globally
    enabled as gdk-pixbuf is used everywhere and the dependency will be
    installed anyway.

    Any issues with enabling it for gnome profiles?

    Thanks and best regards

    gdk-pixbuf modules are a bit of an attack surface, so I feel a bit
    uneasy about enabling it by default globally. Per-package enabling (package.use) feels a bit safer to me.
    It's also not a global USE flag and is used with different meaning
    (e.g. in swaybg, rxvt-unicode, w3m), though that might be more of an
    argument for default enabling for all packages in gnome profiles, as
    gdk-pixbuf is there anyways.

    Yeah, because of what you state in the second paragraph I would also
    opt for enabling it globally in gnome profiles :-/
