Description Sebastian Spaeth 2005-10-11 04:41:28 UTC
Currently app-cdr/gtkcdlabel-1.0_pre7-r1 has a hardcoded dependency on ggc in
its ebuild. However, with e.g. gnome 2.12, ggv is superceeded by evince.
Compiling gtkcdlabel worked just fine without ggv installed BTW.
Please remove this dependency (or at least allow evince as alternative). Isn't
there a virtual viewer/postscript thing which could be used? Thanks

for now we will keep ggv because of bug 107895. Maybe i will change this when i
think evince is stable enough and tested with this package.

thanks for the report
Comment 2 Sebastian Spaeth 2005-10-11 10:07:55 UTC
I won't object to closing this bug, but as I don't have ggv installed anymore
(as will many that install gnome 2.12), you will probably see this report more
often in the near future. evince officially superceeded ggv in 2.12. Thanks for
the quick response in any case.
Comment 3 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-11 12:37:37 UTC
sabastian see this point. gnome 2.12 isn't stable yet so i don't think is a good
idea insert dependencies that are not stable.

When gnome 2.12 goes to stable i will change this dependency.

Time to revisit this? ;)

yeah.. i saw this bug .. but had an experience that crying in comments of old closed bugs is hopeless :)
Comment 7 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-28 14:23:39 UTC
fixed in cvs ( i changed ggv to evince) thanks and sorry for the delay.

Sorry for opening a new report (#150098, somehow Bugzilla gave me no search results, but I tried).
However, this was not meant as a rant; I really think (agreeing with Anton Romanov) that anybody should be able to use his own PS viewer (which is the reason for gtkcdlabel to have a configurable command).
A virtual viewer/postscript would indeed be much better (however, /me fears that there'll be a lot of virtuals then..).
I still see this hardcoded dependency as a bug since it really is not necessary. (Who does *not* have gv BTW.)
Alas, gtkcdlabel could have an auto-detection of the commands/paths.
