Bug 110980 – mambo 4.5.2 ebuild depends on apache only

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeffrey Borg 2005-10-31 01:52:43 UTC]

There is a problem with the current ebuild for mambo in gentoo in the fact if 
you don't use apache as your webserver then it won't install. 
 
I copied the ebuild to an overlay and removed the net-www/apache line. 
 
so far mambo is working fine with lighttpd (1.4.6) and php (5.0.5) 
 
for search url support just set the 404 handler in lighttpd to be 
the /index.php file and the search friendly urls work fine. 
 
I am not sure if a new dependancy on a web server should still be in the ebuild 
file. I guess there is a virtual/webserver in gentoo.

Created attachment 71781 [details]
patched mambo ebuild

attached the modified mambo ebuild file. I didn't change the version only put
it into my portage overlay.

That's tough, there's no virtual for this. Maybe 

RDEPEND="|| ( net-www/apache
              www-servers/lighttpd )"

would be the best workaround, but it has webapp issues (vhost related).

I'm closing this as later. I'm planning to start pushing for bug #11007 implementation soon-ish.
