Re: [gentoo-dev] add global useflag: webkit

Hello. How is it possible that this dependency became mandatory tonight for k3b? I don't think a handbook is a critical feature and k3b has been working like a charm for two years without it. Cheers. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella

[gentoo-dev] Libreoffice without sane?

2011-08-05 Thread Jesús J . Guerrero Botella
