Buildng mediawiki with math support depends upon virtual/tetex. It seems that virtual/tetex is now deprecated and should be either virtual/tex-base or virtual/latex-base. Of course the math support already depends on app-text/dvipng which appropriately brings in virtual/latex-base as a dependency. As the mediawiki ebuild currently stands it can conflict with itself on a new installation by trying to bring in tetex from mediawiki and texlive from dvipng. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. A Gentoo installation without tetex or texlive installed 2. emerge mediawiki with "math" USE flag Actual Results: app-text/tetex (is blocking app-text/texlive-core-2007-r12) Expected Results: emerge texlive-core and ignore tetex
I'm afraid that this bug is ignored. Mediawiki is not emergeable with math support at all! May someone could give a small statement of current developing or a workaround? TIA
I'm not sure why this bug is being ignored. It's really easy to fix.
