Bug 195894 – switch virtual/tetex deps to virtual/latex-base to avoid circual deps with texlive

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexis Ballier 2007-10-14 21:56:58 UTC]

I'm planning to add a meta ebuild that will pulls in what texlive provides, this includes your packages but they depend on virtual/tetex.
I've added virtual/latex-base for such cases and have tested them against it for texlive.


replacing virtual/tetex by virtual/latex-base in the deps should be ok.


packages:
media-libs/freetype-1 : DEPEND="tetex? ( virtual/tetex )"
media-libs/t1lib :   doc? ( virtual/tetex )

eclass:
latex-package.eclass : DEPEND="virtual/tetex
(this one is marked as text-markup but it seems to have been forgotten in the split to tex herd)

feel free to touch whatever fonts packages you need.

thanks fixed both freetype 1 and t1lib; only left is latex-package.eclass, I will check all packages inheriting it and we'll be done there.

@ulrich: dev-tex/feynmf needs metapost to compile, as I'm planning to switch virtual/tetex dep from latex-package to virtual/latex-base it will have bad deps with texlive. I'll attach a diff to the ebuild

[Comment 4 Alexis Ballier 2007-10-15 20:36:53 UTC]

Created attachment 133561 [details, diff]
feynmf diff

Sorry, I can't test this at the moment. Feel free to modify feynmf as necessary for texlive. See bug #106909 comment #9 for a test case.

tested and deps changed

[Comment 7 Alexis Ballier 2007-10-15 21:53:48 UTC]

latex-package eclass updated, everything should be fine now on that regard

[Comment 8 smrspam88 2007-10-15 23:41:51 UTC]

what about app-vim/latexsuite? I'm wondering whether it shouldn't depend on virtual/latex-base instead of virtual/tetex?
Sorry in case this is unrelated...

yes, it might be, but when I'll have added the meta texlive ebuild, this one will provide virtual/tetex so deps will be fine as virtual/latex-base is a subset of virtual/tetex;
for now the goal is to integrate texlive, we'll see about tightening(?) the deps later

app-text/linuxdoc-tools still depends on tetex? ( >=app-text/tetex-3 )

I'm on amd64. I'm afraid that app-vim/latexsuite too still depends directly on app-text/tetex, so we are force to resort to a package.provided hack to install it with texlive. Should not this tetex package be removed anyway, since it's not maintained upstream anymore and is replaced by texlive?
