Bug 139236 – app-arch/file-roller dependence on gnome-base/nautilus

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michal Kurgan (RETIRED) 2006-07-04 13:10:51 UTC]

By default app-arch/file-roller has dependence on nautilus, but it could be disabled and compiled without it (configure --disable-nautilus-actions flag). It could be possible to add USE="gnome" flag to build these additional extensions.
Also if You add this to ebuild it could be possible to use file-roller without big nautilus dependencies on desktops that don't want to use full gnome suite (like xfce based).

There are at least 10 other Gnome dependencies, sorry but gnome use flag really doesn't make sense to disable nautilus.

Yes, i know it'is almost nothing for *optional* file-roller feature.
But answer this one, if it doesn't make sense then why there is that option for totem (same case with nautilus)?

gnome herd members:

what do you think about this?

[Comment 6 Steev Klimaszewski (RETIRED) 2006-07-07 19:21:04 UTC]

Personally, I would agree with it, even though I use Gnome as my desktop.

[Comment 7 Michal Kurgan (RETIRED) 2006-07-11 15:28:48 UTC]

May i know what would be decision here?

[Comment 8 Zeksers 2006-07-22 13:48:19 UTC]

BreakMyGentoo even has an ebuild for this already.

[Comment 9 Michal Kurgan (RETIRED) 2006-07-30 18:32:21 UTC]

Hey guys... close it or fix it. It's simple request.

[Comment 10 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2006-07-31 01:31:06 UTC]

Could you post a patch (either your own or BMG's) here for review? Thanks

Created attachment 93133 [details]
file-roller-2.14.3.ebuild

Proposed ebuild for file-roller, modified according to official totem ebuild (USE="gnome" to add nautilus support, on BMG there is USE="nautilus" flag to do that, but in my opinion it's better to use "gnome" flag to do that, because it is used by default, user don't have to modify any local flags to get normal gnomish bahaviour of package)

[Comment 12 Dekvardo 2006-08-21 05:00:22 UTC]

Please add this fix to the tree and close this bug.

[Comment 13 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) 2006-10-28 22:02:02 UTC]

Added to 2.16.0 ebuild.
