Description Mike Nigh 2012-05-09 19:58:35 UTC

when doing a pull etc it gives this error -

/usr/share/git-cola/bin/ssh-askpass: line 3: exec: wish: not found
error: cannot run /usr/share/git-cola/bin/ssh-askpass: No such file or directory

installing tk solves this problem

tcl might be required too ?

bundled ssh-askpass, probably we should unbundle it.

What happens if you remove tk and install net-misc/x11-ssh-askpass or net-misc/ssh-askpass-fullscreen instead?

Ok, the ebuild now informs the user to have either SSH key management activated or x11-ssh-askpass (or similar) installed and set up.
Furthermore we patch git-cola to now use x11-ssh-askpass as a default and not install it's own tk-based askpass app anymore.
