Full Text Bug Listing

Currently, the pulseaudio ebuild always depends on glib, even though the
dependency is optional as far as pulseaudio is concerned. 

Please add a glib use flag to the ebuild to toggle glib support on and off.
This is especially useful for embedded gentoo, where glib is not available.

I'm attaching a (trivial) patch for 0.9.8-r6

Created an attachment (id=140383) [details]
Patch for 0.9.8-r6

I'd rather wait for another change to make rather than doing a bump just for
that, but I'll see if nothing comes up in a few days.

I was already debating this with myself, if I do add one, it would be enabled
by default with EAPI=1 though.

Actually, if you want to speed up this going in portage there is one thing you
can help with :)

Build pulseaudio with glib disabled, then try to build everything in tree that
depends on rdepends on PulseAudio (with the USE flag enabled of course), look
at http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/media-sound/pulseaudio and
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/media-sound/pulseaudio (why the two
are different? o_O). If anything fails, looking for glib, report it here, so
that I'll add a built_with_use check. If nothing fails, I might as well do the
change and not even enable glib by default :)

Okay, after compiling 200 packages, I discovered I forgot to unmask
pulseaudio-0.9.8, which had the the glib patch :-)

I'm recompiling the packages with dependencies now.

Now, I compiled the ebuilds directly depending on pulseaudio again,
except for: virtualbox (requires kernel sources) gst-plugins-pulse
(required gst-plugins-base which I couldn't find) mumble (Compilation
failed on OpenGL related stuff).

I got a few configure errors:

When compiling media-sound/padevchooser-0.9.3
        checking for PULSE... configure: error: Package requirements ( libpulse
>= 0.9.2 libpulse-browse >= 0.9.2 libpulse-mainloop-glib >= 0.9.2 ) were not
met:

        No package 'libpulse-mainloop-glib' found

When compiling media-sound/paman-0.9.4
        checking for PULSE... configure: error: Package requirements ( libpulse
>= 0.9.5 libpulse-mainloop-glib >= 0.9.5 ) were not met:

        No package 'libpulse-mainloop-glib' found

When compiling media-sound/pavucontrol-0.9.5
        checking for PULSE... configure: error: Package requirements ( libpulse
>= 0.9.7 libpulse-mainloop-glib >= 0.9.5 ) were not met:

        No package 'libpulse-mainloop-glib' found

When compiling media-sound/pavumeter-0.9.3
        checking for PULSE... configure: error: Package requirements ( libpulse
>= 0.9.7 libpulse-mainloop-glib >= 0.9.2 ) were not met:

        No package 'libpulse-mainloop-glib' found

So, built_with_use should be added to:
        media-sound/padevchooser-0.9.3
        media-sound/paman-0.9.4
        media-sound/pavucontrol-0.9.5
        media-sound/pavumeter-0.9.3

For the record, the ebuilds that compiled successfully are:
        app-accessibility/speech-dispatcher
        media-libs/libao
        media-libs/swfdec
        media-libs/xine-lib
        media-plugins/alsa-plugins
        media-plugins/audacious-plugins
        media-sound/herrie
        media-sound/mpd
        media-sound/mpg123
        media-sound/paprefs
        media-video/mplayer
        net-www/libflashsupport

Fixed in 0.9.9-r1 (and -r2).

Just now have tried to reinstall pulseaudio 0.9.9-r1 with 'glib' flag set, but
these packages still claims "Missing glib use flag on media-sound/pulseaudio":

paman
paprefs
pavucontrol
pavumeter

Please. reopen the issue. Or - must I report bugs against each of these
packages? :-)

D'oh! sorry the one I tested last night was the one that had already inherit in
it.

Fixed now for all four of them.
