25834 2003-08-03 15:23 0000 please make the kdeaddons/kdegames dependency optional 2005-01-29 16:25:10 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux KDE unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 carlo@gentoo.org kde@gentoo.org carlo@gentoo.org 2003-08-03 15:23:16 0000 I tried to tell the kde guys that I think that their packaging is not logical consistent, but they don't want to follow. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62027 I think I'm not the only one, who doesn't want kdegames; And removing ~kdegames-{PV} by hand from the ebuild is not the way portage should work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. caleb@gentoo.org 2003-08-06 19:42:59 0000 Have you verified that kdeaddons will work without kdegames? If it works, I will remove the dependency. carlo@gentoo.org 2003-08-07 06:33:15 0000 bugs.k.o. 62027> The configure script for kdeaddons has code to detect that kdegames is not installed and therefore not compile atlantikdesigner. That means that kdeaddons compiles fine without kdegames And yes, I have kdeaddons installed without kdegames. Maybe adding an einfo if kdegames is not installed in pkg_setup () would be a good idea. caleb@gentoo.org 2003-08-07 07:39:35 0000 Okay, I've removed the dependency. I don't think I'll add an einfo unless somewhere along the line someone complains about not being able to install atlantikdesigner. Thanks for the report. dizzinger@gmx.net 2005-01-28 08:13:36 0000 hi, this bug should be reopende, as kde-3.4.0_beta1 again depends on kdegames :( please fix greg_g@gentoo.org 2005-01-28 08:46:43 0000 I thought this would not be an issue anymore now that we have splitted ebuilds. (see also bug 54015) carlo@gentoo.org 2005-01-29 16:25:10 0000 Gregorio: Yes and no. If kdeaddons wouldn't be split up in too many pieces, I would agree.
