Bug 101513 – rrdtool has wierd dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Natanael Copa 2005-08-06 00:32:09 UTC]

sys-libs/zlib, media-libs/freetype, media-libs/libart_lgpl, media-libs/libpng and
media-libs/gd should be in the RDEPEND since they are needed by the runtimes.
They are currently only in the DEPEND.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




I suggest this:

RDEPEND="tcltk? ( dev-lang/tcl )
        >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1
        >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.5
        >=media-libs/libart_lgpl-2.3.16
        >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5
        >=media-libs/gd-1.8.3"

DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        perl? ( dev-lang/perl )
        python? ( dev-lang/python )
        sys-apps/gawk
        >=dev-libs/cgilib-0.5"

While we are here, rrdtool isnt exactly a net-analyzer, is it?
It be moved to sys-apps.

readelf agrees with you, fixed it in 1.2.11.

If it's fixed, close it :)

As far as moving it goes, it's not worth the effort (especially considering all
the revision history will be lost if we do).
