Summary
Pyocr is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool wrapper for python. That is, it helps using OCR tools from a Python program. It has been tested only on GNU/Linux systems. It should also work on similar systems (*BSD, etc). It doesn't work on Windows, MacOSX, etc. Pyocr can be used as a wrapper for google's Tesseract-OCR or Cuneiform. It can read all image types supported by Pillow, including jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff, and others. It also support bounding box data.

dev-python/pyocr: remove support for USE=cuneiform
It defaults to tesseract anyway, and cuneiform hasn't been maintained since 2011 and generally doesn't build. Unlikely anyone has any desire to use it. Upstream only continues to support cuneiform at all because they want to "exercise the code" with regard to its support for multiple runtime-switchable backends. cuneiform is being last-rited. In the unlikely event someone was using it, they will be warned to uninstall it and install tesseract instead by the mask. If they really don't want to, they can ignore the mask *and* the pyocr rebuild. In the event that people were using tesseract, they are perfectly fine anyway and don't need to rebuild (but changed-deps and changed-use will both try to rebuild). No revbump.

proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H.
