Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gnome mailing list
<gnome at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 232047: [patch] graphics/gimp-app: 2.10.6 fails to configure
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232047



--- Description ---
gimp 2.10.6 fails to configure without glib-networking:

    Error: GIMP configuration failed.

      - Error: missing dependency glib-networking
	  *** Test for glib-networking failed. This is required.

This is *only* required for reading external help files over the network,
according to the warning in configure:

WARNING: Test for glib-networking cannot be performed while cross-compiling.
	 Make sure glib-networking is installed, otherwise GIMP will not be
able
	 to display the remote help pages through the help browser, nor will it
	 be able to open remote HTTPS (or other protocol using SSL/TLS) files.
	 HTTPS is becoming the expected standard and should not be considered
	 optional anymore.

Rather than adding more bloat to an already big application and network access
to a program that doesn't really need it to function, I propose to cut the test
out of the configure script. We have a package for the gimp manual, and gimp
can be configured to use that in the preferences.
