Description Santtu Pajukanta 2005-10-15 09:28:04 UTC

The Timidity++ software MIDI synthesizer requires a "patchset" (a set of MIDI 
instruments) to operate. The ebuild media-sound/timidity itself does not, 
however, provide a patchset, but it rather tells the user to emerge either of 
the two patchsets that have ebuilds in Portage, 
media-sound/timidity-eawpatches or media-sound/timidity-shompatches. IMO it 
would be helpful to create a new virtual, virtual/timiditypatches, that the 
ebuilds of these two patchsets would provide, and then make timidity depend on 
the virtual, thus making "emerge timidity" install both timidity and one of 
the patchsets. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge timidity 
 
Actual Results:  
Timidity++ was installed, but it could not play MIDI files, reporting an error 
with the configuration. 

Expected Results:  
Timidity++ would play MIDI files normally.

Oops. The actual ebuild for Timidity++ is media-sound/timidity++, not  
media-sound/timidity. Fixed in summary. -_-

I was going to add a || ( ) dep, but it's not possible right now:

  PDEPEND.bad                    2
   media-sound/timidity++/timidity++-2.13.2-r2.ebuild: ~arm(default-linux/arm/2004.3) ['media-sound/timidity-eawpatches']
   media-sound/timidity++/timidity++-2.13.2-r2.ebuild: ppc64(default-linux/ppc/ppc64/2006.0/64bit-userland) ['media-sound/timidity-eawpatches']

please arches see what you can do.
