Hi, I was lately wondering why all the new features / dependencies are handled as required unconditionaly.
Would it not be possible to add specific with/without switches for features that require 3rd party libs? Like cups/cmis/visio/wpd/... so users could choose which features they really want in during the compile, making the build smaller if they want to. I am not saying that we are to backport all the switches right away, but with disappearance of --with-cmis it occured to me that we add even new libraries as hard dependencies. I also know that you can say that we can unbundle this on runtime, but then again I am gentoo dev so we need this kind of optionality on build time, and I bet we are not the only ones. Of course all the switches would be in enabled state by default. If you are afraid of breakages that would not be noticed i can quite ensure you that I am capable of running tests for on/off for each swich weekly.
