Bug 253826 – Drop gnome-base/gnome-vfs-monikers

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2009-01-05 09:54:54 UTC]

gnome-vfs is deprecated, seems that no other package is using gnome-vfs-monikers, also, it has no new releases since years

Thanks :-)

Reproducible: Always

did it stop building or working yet ?

I don't know as I don't have clear for what is needed :-(

There is a better description at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/gnome/gnome-vfs-monikers.html

but I haven't needed it (yet...)

well I though I had it installed on one of my box but apparently I was mistaken. It has probably been unused for at least since 2.18 so I have no strong feelings about its removal.

I've never heard of anyone using that package FWIW...

gnome-vfs used it at one point, at least, since I remember having to add it to the overlay to get gnome-vfs to build.

It apparently doesn't need it anymore, and nothing in the tree needs it.  I've masked it for removal.

To my knowledge it was simply a split-out of gnome-vfs to get gnome-vfs not depend on bonobo anymore. So it provides the bonobo "monikers" that use to be provided by gnome-vfs itself, but as bonobo is deprecated and nothing modern really used those gnome-vfs bonobo monikers, it was split into a separate package to not have most things pull in bonobo stuff through gnome-vfs. Well, something like that.

Anyway, adding PMASKED keyword too.
