Bugzilla Bug 284689

maekke: ready for stable in order to nuke built_with_use?

pleas do, thanks.

amd64/arm/x86 stable

Sorry to ask here, but is there a special reason that graphviz depends on
gd[-fontconfig]? Till now it seemed to be working with gd with USE=fontconfig.
And no changelog or ebuild comment i could find explained about the forced
disabled use flag.

Yes, after the stabilization, we have the mess with fontconfig USE flag

I think ordinary users will be confused with such uninformative error output:

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=media-libs/gd-2.0.28[-fontconfig,jpeg,png]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/gd-2.0.35 (Change USE: -fontconfig)
(dependency required by "media-gfx/graphviz-2.24.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.2.9" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.11" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/librsvg-2.22.3" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/nautilus-2.24.2-r3" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.8" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.24.1" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.24.1" [installed])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/eel-2.24.1" [installed])

IMHO the ebuild for 2.24.0 version needs some modification

so, what's the reason for
        >=media-libs/gd-2.0.28[-fontconfig,jpeg,png]
?

I don't know how "Change USE: -fontconfig" could be any more clear than that
(unless we are talking about handholding here :-)

...end after remerging gd with USE=-fontconfig it still links against
fontconfig, which makes the whole fontconfig use-flag-play.....
..... confusing? useless? ????
For me it makes no sense anymore.

You know what I mean :)
global USE -fontconfig in make.conf is not acceptable for many people
so they should write the according string in their package.use fike
IMHO it's bad practice for a _stable_ package

PS. It's only IMHO :)

you havent given any reason as to why the gd[-fontconfig] is there.  the
question is not "what does it mean", it's "wth does graphviz require gd be
built with USE=-fontconfig".

if you're working around a bug instead of actually fixing it (bug 267373 ?),
then this version shouldnt be going stable

especially considering `emerge graphviz --nodeps` worked on my system with gd
built with USE=fontconfig.  but perhaps there is a runtime failure (not that i
have any way of checking -> no docs as to why this requirement exists).

I second this.  Some kind of comment in the ebuild explaining why -fontconfig
is necessary would be nice.

looks like I had a look at bug #267373 some time ago (and forgot to remove the
change), which is only present in graphviz-2.22*. I apologize for this.
Could you guys verify that media-gfx/graphviz-2.24.0-r1 works ok?

*graphviz-2.24.0-r1 (15 Sep 2009)

  15 Sep 2009; Markus Meier <maekke@gentoo.org> -graphviz-2.24.0.ebuild,
  +graphviz-2.24.0-r1.ebuild:
  revision bump, remove false dep on media-libs/gd[-fontconfig], remove
  broken ebuild

This revision bump appears to have removed the stable keywords for
amd64/arm/x86 that were present on 2.24.0, forcing a downgrade.

that was by design.  the version wasnt really ready for stable yet.  once bug
267373 is resolved (it seems to be already), and the new version doesnt cause
any other bugs, we will stabilize the new -r1.

In the future, it'd be nice to have a short note that in the changelog when
removing the most recent version of a stable package from the tree.  Something
like "all stable users are recommended to downgrade to the previous version". 
Otherwise, those of us with perfectly working graphviz installs are left
wondering if someone just made a mistake and whether or not we should be
worried about it.

just added a new revision (wrt bug #285750), let's give it a few days before
re-requesting stabilization.
