Bug 454656 – dev-util/gource-0.38 should depend on media-fonts/freefont instead of media-fonts/freefont

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Created attachment 337312 [details]
gource-0.38-r1.ebuild

I am getting 

le1558 lu # emerge -av gource
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "media-fonts/freefont-ttf".
(dependency required by "dev-util/gource-0.38" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "gource" [argument])

when trying to merge gource.

Attached the updated ebuild of my overlay (luman).
Correct me if i am wrong here. But this seemed to be a reasonable fix :)

Don't attach ebuilds for this kind of trivialities please.

@nirbheek if you do a package move, check the frigging reverse dependency, FFS.

What is the preferred way submitting a "trivial" fix?

Ebuild diff, I'd think.

Exactly as Nikolaj said — sorry for being rough yesterday, the pkgmove I really didn't expect.

Basically every time you don't rewrite the whole ebuild from scratch, an ebuild diff is preferred. In case like this you could also just describe the fix as it's just a "rename dependency, rename install path".

alright! :)
