Description Daniel Golle 2007-01-08 15:58:26 UTC
I just compiled rss-glx without having xscreensaver installed (I use gnome-screensaver instead). After converting all .xml files in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config to .desktop by using the migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh and copied them to /usr/share/applications/screensaver everything seems to be fine.
(as I don't have xscreensaver itself installed, only those .xml files installed by rss-glx are actually there)
I think, the files created by migrate-xscreensaver-config should be included in the form of a patch. also the location of the binaries referes to xscreensaver. 
Any ideas?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove xscreensaver dependency from rss-glx-0.8.1-r3.ebuild
2. unmerge xscreensaver
3. merge rss-glx

Actual Results:  
I realized that everything works as expected eventhough xscreensaver was neither installed at compile-time nor at run-time.

Expected Results:  
the configure script of rss-glx should abort and complain about something is missing

Take this upstream please, we really don't have time for such hacking. Either it works with something else than xscreensaver out of the box or the dependency stays there.

I second that.
