Description Anthony Staines 2009-11-19 21:19:23 UTC

rednotebook [url]http://digitaldump.wordpress.com/projects/rednotebook/[/url] is a rather elegant journaling program. It has a spell check facility, but this requires dev-python/gtkspell-python to be installed. There is no configure option for this, so it isn't strictly, a DEPEND issue.

Just installing dev-python/gtkspell-python adds the spell-check tick-box to the preferences dialog in rednotebook, and if you tick it you are away. I have no idea how it decides what language you are writing in.

How should this be dealt with in a modified ebuild?

Anthony

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install rednotebook
2.spellcheck option is invisible
3.install gtk-spell-pythonm and it's visible

Created attachment 210646 [details]
Amended ebuild

RDEPEND="dev-python/pyyaml[libyaml?]
        >=dev-python/pygtk-2.13
        >=dev-python/gtkspell-python-2.19"

Added gtkspell-python to the RDEPEND list. 2.19.1 is the only version in portage at the moment.

Comment 2 Anthony Staines 2009-11-19 21:36:08 UTC

cc.ed correctly (I hope)

Incidentally this is stable on both x86 and ad64 - can it be flagged as such?
Best wishes,
Anthony Staines

Reassigning to hwoarang, as he's got the commit rights.

gtkspell is actually optional; it's not required.

Still, there should be one more USE flag in the 0.8.x ebuilds:


spell? ( dev-python/gtkspell-python )

It is an automagic dependency. This means that if you have dev-python/gtkspell-python installed it will enable it wether you have spell use flag on or off. I will come up with a patch asap
