Bug 237815 – [PATCH] sys-kernel/kerneloops should only depend on libnotify if USE="gtk"

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xake 2008-09-16 08:19:30 UTC]

This is simply a follow upon bug #206653

The patch attached modifies the Makefile to add the content of `pkg-config --cflags libnotify gtk+-2.0` if target is kerneloops-applet, and the content of `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 dbus-glib-1` if target is kerneloops.

Tested and works for me.

pkg-config should only get for what is needed for the target

*kerneloops-0.12 (15 Sep 2008)

  15 Sep 2008; Greg Kroah-Hartman <[e-mail]> metadata.xml,
  +kerneloops-0.12.ebuild:
  0.12 release. Removed -gtk option, too much of a pain to try to build
  without applet portion, so am giving up.

ebuild

That ebuild works for me w/o using gtk.

@gregkh

Is it clear what my patch does, or is there something apparently wrong with it?
I run this thing on a headless server, so for me it is somewhat important to not need libnotify and gtk+ as it for the deamon is not necessary and just "bloats" my install. So if there is anything that needs clarification, just shout at me.:-)


And why not use "all"/"install" and "noui"/"install-noui" when invoking make, instead of the kerneloops* targets?

There appears to be a new kerneloops-0.12 ebuild with a -gtk USE flag, but attempting to build it on an X-less system triggers an unsatisfiable dependency on pango...

What is that version from? According to http://sources.gentoo.org there ain't a 0.12 ebuild with any optional gtk support at all.

@gregkh

If you do not have the time to look at this, will you please direct me to the current upstream maintainer or bugtracker/mailinglist so I may annoy them with patches?;)

[Comment 8 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2008-09-29 23:07:42 UTC]

upstream is at kerneloops.org

[Comment 9 Xake 2008-09-30 12:04:39 UTC]

Sorry but I can not see any link to a bug-reporting facility or a mailinglist or anything.

It's my understanding that Arjan van de Ven <[e-mail]> has to do with kerneloops.org. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Comment 12 Xake 2009-08-21 16:54:33 UTC]

Got no answears, have sent mail two times. Will wait for a new release before trying anything again.

[Comment 13 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2009-08-24 21:33:43 UTC]

Ok, thanks for letting us know.

I'm going to close this out for now.
