Bug 311635 – games-strategy/wesnoth-1.8 should not depend on just boost:0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jalan 2010-03-27 15:37:14 UTC]

The wesnoth ebuild has this in RDEPEND :
"|| ( dev-libs/boost:1.42 dev-libs/boost:1.41 dev-libs/boost:1.35 )"

But boost-1.35 is actually slot 0, not slot 1.35 :
"|| ( dev-libs/boost:1.42 dev-libs/boost:1.41 dev-libs/boost:0 )"

I've changed my local ebuild and verified that it works with slot 0.

Thanks to tomboy64 and Tommy[D] in #gentoo-dev-help for helping me figure this one out :)

Reproducible: Always





Work around for the meanwhile, if anyone needs it: unmask =dev-libs/boost-1.41.0 or =dev-libs/boost-1.42.0 and build wesnoth against one of those.

whoops.  Should be fixed up now.

Now it exclusively wants the only boost version that is slotted :0

Confirmed. I think it should be

>=dev-libs/boost-1.35

instead of 

>=dev-libs/boost-1.35:0

I tested it that way, with success.

"# how do I hate boost? Let me count the ways..." :)

No, I'm only support the slotted ebuilds.  upgrade your boost version.

Huh? I am using the latest stable boost, in the 1.41 slot, and it looks like Joost has that as well. Your ebuild depends exclusively on the 0 slot, which is 1.35.

Oh, the summary is very misleading.

[Comment 9 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2010-04-09 23:51:39 UTC]

ok, fixed that up.  Thanks.
