Description Alexander Skwar 2005-07-04 07:34:54 UTC
At the start of the "meld" install, the following message is printed:

>>> md5 src_uri ;-) meld-1.0.0.tar.bz2
 *
 * Meld requires gnome-python-extras be built
 * with gtkhtml use flag set to enable line
 * numbering and source highlighting.
 *
 * You need to re-emerge gnome-python-extras
 * with gtkhtml use flag.

This is irritating, since gnome-python-extras doesn't have a gtkhtml USE flag:

[16:24:39 alexander@server:~] $ sudo emerge -vpt gnome-python-extras

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/gnome-python-extras-2.10.2  -debug -doc +firefox +mozilla 0 kB

Maybe this message should refer to gnome-python instead?

yes this is an error, committed fix in cvs.

you can just remove that section from pkg_setup in the ebuild if you don't want
to resync / wait for it to be pushed out later today.

thanks for the report!
