On Gentoo/FreeBSD we're having a bit of a problem with indent package (as BSD has its own version of indent command) so I was looking if we needed to do some strange hack to have it working on orbit, and I looked at orbit (2.12.2) sources... there's no reference to indent command, nor to texinfo2man command fwiw. FreeBSD's ports does't list indent as a dependency ( http://www.freshports.org/devel/ORBit2/ ), while the spec file does. There are other reasons for this? or the dependency can be dropped (so to un-break Gentoo/FreeBSD) ? Thanks, Diego
This is why: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=26358 From the Spec ChangeLog: "- added Requires: indent for devel (orbit-idl run indent for formating C source)" However, From Debian's ChangeLog of Orbit2: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/o/orbit2/orbit2_2.12.2-1/changelog They just removed the dep on indent b/c its "not needed anymore". If you could test to make sure you don't get errors like in the first link, that would be great. It does look like it can now be removed, however, we'd need to test or ask upstream to be sure.
Just tested, no error about indent (without having indent installed, obviously). There's neither a single 'indent' string in the file, btw.
in cvs, Thanks!
