Bug 11310 – kdelibs-3.0.4-r1 dependencies pinned to specific libxml2 and libxslt versions

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ian Abbott 2002-11-27 13:28:21 UTC]

I'm not sure if this was a deliberate choice (and therefore not a bug), but the   
kdelibs-3.0.4-r1 ebuild contains the following dependencies:   
   
  =dev-libs/libxslt-1.0.20  
  =dev-libs/libxml2-2.4.24  
  
Should these be specified as '>='?  
  
Note, I'm using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and have newer versions of libxslt and  
libxml2 already installed.  
  
For reference, the (masked) kdelibs-3.1 and _rc3 ebuilds have the following 
dependencies: 
 
  >=dev-libs/libxslt-1.0.7 
  =dev-libs/libxml2-2.4.24  
 
I don't know if the older libxslt version specified as a minimum requirement here is a 
problem or not.

cf bug #11152. 
Hannes: is there a reason to ask for a particular libxslt version? For me all versions 
worked, only libxml2 caused these problems... 
We should remove the broken libxml2 ebuilds (just .26 I think) and then we can make 
the = dep a >= one again. Not right now though, falling asleep...

well, there was (is?) this bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50799 
i'm currently compiling kde*-3.1 with libxslt-1.0.22 and libxml2-2.4.28. 
when this is done, i will report about my success/failure.

well, compiling kde-3.1 with libxml2-2.4.28 and libxslt-1.0.22 worked here, we can 
remove the pinned down deps.

Done.
