A user asked for optional gtk3 support in www-client/chromium: <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559378>
However, reading e.g. <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GNOME/Gnome_Team_Ebuild_Policies#gtk3> says this: > having USE=gtk3 to enable gtk+-3 instead of gtk+-2 support is > forbidden > package is an application with support for multiple gtk+, maintainer > is free to select whatever slot he desires to support. It is strongly > advised to use gtk+-3 if functionality is equivalent. This is to > reduce workload of bugs being triggered with one slot but not the > other. What are your recommendations for the best course of action? For stability and maintainability, I'd prefer www-client/chromium to use the upstream defaults (gtk+-2 AFAIK) since it's most common, tested, and supported configuration. If/when upstream moves to gtk+-3, we'd just follow. I also understand we have users who are eager to run various configurations, and expect Gentoo to be flexible and allow that. Would masking a gtk3 USE flag for www-client/chromium be acceptable? Are there any other solutions that might work? Paweł
