Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-03 15:23:16 UTC
I tried to tell the kde guys that I think that their packaging is not logical
consistent, but they don't want to follow. 

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62027

I think I'm not the only one, who doesn't want kdegames; And removing
~kdegames-{PV} by hand from the ebuild is not the way portage should work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Have you verified that kdeaddons will work without kdegames?  If it works, I will remove the 
dependency. 
Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-07 06:33:15 UTC
bugs.k.o. 62027> The configure script for kdeaddons has code to detect that kdegames is not installed and therefore not compile atlantikdesigner. That means that kdeaddons compiles fine without kdegames 

And yes, I have kdeaddons installed without kdegames. Maybe adding an einfo if kdegames is not installed in pkg_setup () would be a good idea.
Comment 3 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-07 07:39:35 UTC
Okay, I've removed the dependency.  I don't think I'll add an einfo unless somewhere along 
the line someone complains about not being able to install atlantikdesigner.  Thanks for the 
report.

hi,

this bug should be reopende, as kde-3.4.0_beta1 again depends on kdegames :(

please fix

I thought this would not be an issue anymore now that we have splitted 
ebuilds. (see also bug 54015)
Comment 6 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-29 16:25:10 UTC
Gregorio: Yes and no. If kdeaddons wouldn't be split up in too many pieces, I would agree.
