Bug 179930 – net-im/gajim requires python-2.5 with sqlite support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christoph Mende (RETIRED) 2007-05-26 22:50:41 UTC]

gajim only depends on pysqlite with python <2.5, it doesn't check for the sqlite use flag on python-2.5 :>

[Comment 1 Jack Kelly 2007-05-27 09:17:54 UTC]

That would be because sqlite is now part of the python 2.5 standard library under the module name `sqlite3' (http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/modules.html). Gajim is already python 2.5 aware (it does a try: import sqlite3; except ImportError: ...). I checked the configure script for python 2.5.1 and couldn't find a sqlite switch in configure --help or configure.in (which explains the absence of a sqlite USE), so I'd recommend RESOLVED INVALID.

I know that. :>
All I'm asking for is:
if has_version ">=dev-lang/python-2.5" && ! built_with_use dev-lang/python sqlite; then
eerror "Please rebuild python with USE=\"sqlite\""
die "USE\="sqlite\" needed for python"
fi
and I'd recommend putting that in pkg_setup() and RESOLVED FIXED

Created attachment 120437 [details, diff]
Make the ebuild check python versions after 2.5 have USE="sqlite"

Ah yes, silly me. Have a look at the attached patch.

Done and done...
@Jack, you posted the patch too late ;)
