158795 2006-12-21 20:57 0000 Update dependency for dev-util/meld 2007-01-09 10:40:48 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P3 enhancement --- 1 hoffbrinkle@hotmail.com gnome@gentoo.org voyageur@gentoo.org hoffbrinkle@hotmail.com 2006-12-21 20:57:26 0000 Currently meld-1.1.4 depends on dev-python/gnome-python-extras. However, the bit that does the syntax highlighting and line numbering (gtksourceview) has been moved to dev-python/gnome-python-desktop. I'm not sure if there is any need for gnome-python-extras anymore. jakub@gentoo.org 2006-12-21 23:57:05 0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 108479 *** hoffbrinkle@hotmail.com 2006-12-22 12:39:35 0000 I saw bug 108479 before I filed this, but I don't believe they are in any way related. 1. gtksourceview was moved (at some point) from gnome-python-extra to gnome-python-desktop. 2. meld has NO dependency on gnome-python-extra 3. meld has a dependency on gnome-python-desktop Bug 108479 is all about USE flags in gnome-python-extra. Meld is not dependent on that package, let alone a USE flag for it. Fixing the USE flags for gnome-python-extra will not fix meld. Fixing bug 108479 will not fix meld. leio@gentoo.org 2007-01-09 05:40:15 0000 Indeed only pygtksourceview is used out of what all used to be inside gnome-python-extras, which lives now in gnome-python-desktop. Even that is optional with a run-time check, so without having g-p-desktop installed it just caused the interface to not support showing line numbers for the source files. Dep updated in 1.1.4 - users should see gnome-python-desktop being pulled in on a regular emerge -uDva world run. After installing it it should be possible to show line numbers in meld interface (it's a preference option). voyageur@gentoo.org 2007-01-09 09:17:35 0000 Sad thing now is that getting meld now pulls in metacity, totem, ... unconditionnaly just to support showing line numbers for the source files? leio@gentoo.org 2007-01-09 09:24:41 0000 hmm, before it was firefox or seamonkey, gtkhtml2, libgda and perhaps some more. So actually -desktop has more deps than -extras :( leio@gentoo.org 2007-01-09 09:33:43 0000 Ok. Now the gnome-python-desktop dependency is behind USE=gnome. Couldn't think of a better solution. If anyone has a better idea, let me know. Thanks for raising the concern! voyageur@gentoo.org 2007-01-09 10:40:48 0000 I was going to do the same thing in my overlay, it did not have time to get there,thanks for your speedy update ;) As this old post said: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-devtools/2004-January/msg00032.html other solutions would be to manage an internal pygtksourceview in meld ebuild (hum...), or do a split ebuild for it (blocker for gnome-python-desktop I suppose, which would suppose other split ebuilds and more work). USE=-gnome is easier now
