Description groot 2019-05-23 10:03:35 UTC 
SUMMARY: libvlc is mentioned as an optional dependency, "allows to play music in Elisa". That seems like pretty basic functionality for a music player. But Elisa works fine without it.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure you don't have libvlc installed
2. Run cmake (I used the v0.4.0 tag of Elisa sources). Note the RECOMMENDED packages message at the end
3. Build and run Elisa

OBSERVED RESULT

You can play music normally.

EXPECTED RESULT

Well, I thought it would be silent because of the messages about VLC. As a packager I was going to grumble about why-isn't-this-major-dependency-change-mentioned-anywhere but since it just works, I'm now grumbling about the much more minor issue of a misleading CMake message.
