Bug 220741 – app-doc/kchmviewer, app-text/gnochm, x11-misc/xchm belong to separate categories for no apparent reason.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Antek Grzymała (antoszka) 2008-05-07 11:34:21 UTC]

As in the topic, the following apps:

* app-doc/kchmviewer
* app-text/gnochm
* x11-misc/xchm

belong to different categories even though they serve a single purpose of browsing CHM files. What they differ in is just the toolkits (and desktop libraries) used. I propose that this mess be cleaned up.

[Comment 1 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2008-05-07 17:49:11 UTC]

Well I agree that kchmviewer together with  chmlib is in wrong category (cite metadata.xml "The app-doc category contains various miscellaneous documentation collections.") and should be moved somewhere... chmlib to dev-libs and kchmviewer to app-text.

Specking about x11-misc/xchm I'm not sure but that's up to Ryan. :)

gnochm is in correct category as I see.

[Comment 2 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2008-05-08 00:20:51 UTC]

yep, this bugged me before but i never got around to changing it.  these should be in app-text.

[Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2008-05-13 08:14:26 UTC]

r0berts, metadata.xml states that you maintain app-text/chmsee in gentoo-china overlay. It depends on app-doc/chmlib which was moved to dev-libs/chmlib. So you could be interested in updating dependencies...

[Comment 4 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2008-05-13 10:20:46 UTC]

Well, I moved app-doc/chmlib into dev-libs/chmlib and app-doc/kchmviewer into app-text/kchmviewer. Ryan do you want me to move x11-misc/xchm into app-text? :)

Hmmm, i can see both versions of packages in portage:
app-doc/chmlib & dev-libs/chmlib 
app-doc/kchmviewer & app-text/kchmviewer

It looks like you copied not moved.

Sure move means that we first copy package, then update all dependencies in the the tree to use new package and only then remove old one. So at some point of time you'll have same package in different categories... Old versions are removed now...

I see now.

I wrote because after 'emerge -DNu' I got installed both versions of chmlib and bunch of warning about file collisions.

Heh. Now I see too. We need to add blockers in place, but I'm not sure where. I'll try to find out today...
