Description Alexandre Ghisoli 2006-08-03 11:56:50 UTC
While trying to port OpenGroupware stuff in gnustep project, I'm facing gnustep-env dependencies that doenst fit non GUI applications.

The global meta package that setup some nice GNUStep helpers need to have minimal dependencies :

DEPEND=">=gnustep-base/gnustep-make-1.12
        >=gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.12"

Should be enough.

Also pay attention that you have 0.1.8 version but your env and init script are stuck to 0.1.7, you need to bump to :
  gnustep.env-0.1.8
  gnustep.runscript-0.1.8

I fixed a problem with the two files today, so that should be fixed.  A stabilisation round bug is open, but not really actively responded to.

The gnustep-env package is only meant for full gnustep (desktop) users.  If you only need gnustep-make or gnustep-base, just depend on those.

Does that help you any?  I read you comment on the og bug, and I highly support the initiative.  If it gets a bit clean, it'll have a way better chance of getting in portage (I can possibly be proxy for it, if someone with the knowledge can maintain it)

I'm not sure how much people uses GNUStep stuff, as it at is own life.

I dont think I can bypass gnustep-env, as this ebuild setup very nice environnement var helpers.

BTW, who setup GNUStep PATH stuff ?

OGo is a really big piece of software, and probably only a OGo dev can do a good ebuild maintener.
I'll do my best to provide a good start for more experienced users.

New gnustep ebuilds do not need gnustep-env anymore, gnustep-make sets the environment now. 

You can use a gnustep non-gui setup for an ebuild by inheriting gnustep-base (the new base eclass), and then setting the DEPEND you need (the eclass does not set any, so you can choose to depend on only -make and -base as in here)

Looks like everything in this bug is fixed or has a new handling way
