Bug 110174 – kaffeine should depend on virtual/x11

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) 2005-10-22 13:08:28 UTC]

please fix kaffeine to not depend on xorg-x11 itself, but on virtual/x11

[Comment 1 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-10-22 16:02:09 UTC]

Well, there would be no X11 dependency line needed at all, if there were not
issues with older Xorg and XFree versions - so the dependency is set
intentional. What's your problem with it?

[Comment 2 Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) 2005-10-22 21:43:56 UTC]

i use modular X and kaffeine wants to pull in xorg-x11 

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-10-23 01:45:58 UTC]

That does not mean it should use virtual/x11
It simply means that we should make it a || depend on xorg modular and xorg monolithic..
The problem is if it requires a newer server or newer libs.

[Comment 4 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-10-23 10:35:27 UTC]

So what should virtual/x11 help? 

grep -R virtual/x11 profiles/base/virtuals
virtual/x11                                     x11-base/xorg-x11


Please reopen once the basic Xorg split dependency stuff is sorted out.

Please, at least apply this modification to satisfy dependancies with modular xorg :

This doesn't disturb monolithic xorg dependancy and solve annoyance with modular
xorg and ensure you not have xfree.

Spyderous ask people who want to test modular xorg an FIX all those nasty
dependancies
