Bug 326491 – app-emulation/qemu{,-kvm}: automagic dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-07-01 16:58:49 UTC]

There are automagic dependencies between qemu (and/or qemu-kvm) and xen-tools and brltty among others.

Luca: please copy the xen USE flag from qemu-kvm to qemu, for starters.

[Comment 1 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2010-07-02 02:35:47 UTC]

Diego: I'm not understanding your report. What's qemu-kvm automagically depending on?

[Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-07-02 02:45:36 UTC]

brltty

[Comment 3 Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) 2010-09-05 13:03:38 UTC]

Any update? Can we have the automagic dep eventually handled?

[Comment 4 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) 2010-09-06 03:07:54 UTC]

I've added a brltty use flag for qemu-kvm-9999.
If you can, please test it. I'll update the release ebuilds after some testing.

Any other automagic deps?

[Comment 5 Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) 2010-09-06 07:29:07 UTC]

Thanks, looks good here.

[Comment 6 Dragos Delcea 2010-09-06 08:56:28 UTC]

Now it fails here at configure time (0.12.5-r1, as you can see below):
...
 * Done with patching
>>> Source prepared.
>>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/qemu-kvm-0.12.5-r1/work/qemu-kvm-0.12.5 ...

There was a wrong configure option in qemu-kvm-0.12.5-r1 that has now been fixed.
So this is also fixed on qemu-kvm-0.12.5-r1.

If there are no missing automagic deps, we can close this as fixed.

With app-emulation/qemu-0.11.1 (what I have on tinderbox) I get these deps:

app-emulation/xen-tools (/usr/lib/libxenguest.so.4.0)
app-emulation/xen-tools (/usr/lib/libxenstore.so.3.0)
app-emulation/xen-tools (/usr/lib/libxenctrl.so.4.0)
app-accessibility/brltty (/lib/libbrlapi.so.0.5)
sys-libs/glibc (/lib/libc.so.6)
sys-libs/glibc (/lib/libpthread.so.0)
sys-libs/glibc (/lib/libm.so.6)
sys-libs/glibc (/lib/libutil.so.1)
sys-libs/glibc (/lib/librt.so.1)
sys-libs/ncurses (/lib/libncurses.so.5)
sys-libs/zlib (/lib/libz.so.1)
x11-libs/libX11 (/usr/lib/libX11.so.6)
media-libs/libsdl (/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0)

Is the xen-tools one fixed as well on 0.12?

I'm adding Lance to the CC list as his the one maintaining qemu-kvm-0.11*.
I'll take a look at xen-tools later, but xen has been disabled in 0.12* for a while now.

qemu-kvm-0.11* is no longer in portage so I'm removing myself from this ticket.

[Comment 11 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2012-01-22 12:03:12 UTC]

Automagic hopefully fixed in qemu-1.0:

>  22 Jan 2012; Sergei Trofimovich <[e-mail]> +qemu-1.0.ebuild,

...
>  Added LatticeMico32 (lm32) softmmu target. Added USE="nss rbd spice threads
>  +vhost-net xattr xen" to get control of some automagic depends (bug #326491 by
>  Diego Elio Pettenò);

Thank you, Diego!
