Bugzilla Bug 17808

find packages which might need cleaning-up:

find /usr/portage -iname '*.ebuild' -exec grep -l tcltk \{\} \; | sed
s%/[^/]*\.ebuild$%% | sort | uniq

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

mine(atm)

Just adding my $0.02 here. I run several production server gentoo boxes without
xfree installed. I have uses for tcl but not tk as that would automagically
install xfree, etc. which I try to avoid. Use of the tcltk flag however has
ebuilds like python trying to build tk and thus X. Anyway I'm sure that
somebody already figured it out (or this bug wouldn't be filed), so I suppose
I'm adding this more for anyone else that runs across this bug and doesn't
immediately realise why it's of importance.

whats the status of this bug ?

if no one has done any real work on it ill go ahead and split the damn thing this weekend ;)

just like edward, i have a server where i want tcl but not tk ... when i goto update python, it uses tcltk to pull in tk which pulls in X which i dont want

I don't think it's necessary really.  Seemant...based on the analysis I sent
you, do you see any reason to split the flag?  Seems like it could all be handled
by other USE conditionals.

per nick's -core post, when portage supports conditional uses and "embedded"
use like: tcltk? ( X? tk : tcl ) then this problem goes away.  splitting them
up just creates more headache than it's worth.

what's the status of conditional & embedded uses?

I think this bug can be closed.  I believe all cases can be handled like this:

tcltk? (
    dev-lang/tcl
    X? ( dev-lang/tk )
)

if that works then it's fine with me definitely...
but someone has to do all those ebuilds still..

I'm working on all of them. In a current Portage tree it effects 120 packages.
And correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we're going to want to revision bump
all these packages so they can be made properly aware of the tk situation on
that system.

doug, you're not splitting them are you?

No. I know that creating new USE flags is a Bad Thing. Plus there's really no
real need. I've been using Mr. Bones' solution to the problem an Portage
Overlay on my system. I've jotted down all the maintainers name's and emails in
a separate file. Just lemme know how you want me to proceed from there.

Wine Patches for this issue... CC'd Wine herd.

Reassigning to the TCL/TK herd. Since we'll be banging out all these patches.

Adding net-dialup to the CC. They've got bug #53986 dependant on this.

wine is fixed with wine-20041019-r2

What happened to the activity on this bug?

I second the sentiments in Comment #2.  I have tons of in-house tcl stuff
running on all my production servers, but have absolutely no use for tk.  It
would be nice if the tcltk flag was separated into separate tcl and tk flags,
since tcl and tk are separate.

as this bug is quite old and I really don't have time for it at the moment i'll
reassign it to bug-wranglers.

Hmmm, that's nice. And how are bug wranglers supposed to fix this? 

Marking LATER, reopen when you get manpower to do the job. ;)

I guess I'll take care of it.

@cardoe: thanks, great that someone has the time to do this finally :)

ebuild that still have tcltk USE flag

I've fixed this in following packages:
  app-mobilephone/obexftp
  net-dialup/globespan-adsl
  net-dialup/pptpclient
  net-libs/wvstreams

Still a whole bunch to fix. cc'ing some teams hopefully helps a bit.

 At least corrected version 2.10.7 upwards (which are testing).

maintained by ml.

I had missed dev-ml/(lablgl|findlib), they are done now.

updated list of ebuild w/ IUSE=tcltk

To avoid problems with built_with_use we always need a stable version stable
which uses the split USE flags for Tcl and Tk.  Some of you have fixed testing
but not stable branch of their ebuilds, so please file a stabilisation request
(and make it block this one here) or fix the current stable.  vapier, you must
have forgotten cm3, so I readd you.   This listing is based on jakub's
automated report and manually checked for if a fixed stable version is needed.

The packages not fixed on 10 Feb 2007 will be fixed by me, just step up, if you
don't want me to touch your package.

sci-mathematics/maxima has been fixed and so the team is removed from CC.

Hi Christian,

I just fixed R and removed sci from the cc list since
it looks like we're done. My apologies for the delay.

cheers,
Markus

linuxwacom fixed.  Sorry about the delay.

Following are fixed in stable and testing for all KEYWORDS, so I remove the
respective maintainers.  Three are still left untouched, see below.

Still left are the following.  I dare to touch them when I have more time to
test properly.

Fixed, thanks to dev-zero

I hate it to have things lying around undone...so the migration is finished. 
If you see a bug coming out of my changes, please feel free to cc me on the
bug.  Closing this one

Reopening to get rid of the remaining stuff. Please either punt the versions
below or backport the use flag changes if they really need to stay in the tree.

dev-db/postgis-0.7.5-r2 - postgresql/sci-geosciences
dev-util/aegis-4.{9,11,16} - karltk but he's been away for over a year
net-im/kadu-0.4.{1,1-r1,2} - mkay/net-im
sci-geosciences/grass-5.4.0 - nerdboy/sci-geosciences
sci-libs/vtk-5.0.0 - markusle/sci
sci-mathematics/maxima-5.9.3 - sci-mathematics
sys-cluster/openpbs-2.3.16-r{2,3} - tantive/cluster

dev-db/postgis cleaned up, thanks for the notice!
Best regards, CHTEKK.

Fixed dev-util/aegis-4.{9,11,16} since karltk is gone.

kadu
grass

fixed

all done and closing again
