Description Shevek 2004-02-06 03:43:46 UTC 
jack requires alsa-lib, alsa-lib requires jack (if jack is in USE).

Is there a general approach to solving these issues yet?

Thanks.

bug 35674 proposes splitting the jack pcm plugin out of alsa-lib, which would technically solve it w/ the appropriate deps updated.

I think a more generic solution to circular dependencies is needed. This isn't the only one at the moment, and more are going to turn up in the future. This has to become a general issue for portage developers.

Surely we can patch jack to come with the headers required from alsalib (or vice-versa).. 

Ultimately, I would say that this is an error on the part of the alsa developers.. alsa sits below jack, and any utilisation of jack should be in a seperate package?  I doubt that the code itself contains a circular dependency.

bah.. I dunno :-)
