Bug 271518 – =net-misc/wicd-1.6.2.2 keywordreq for ~ppc64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael 2009-05-28 11:47:09 UTC]

=net-misc/wicd-1.6.0_beta3
AFAIK depends on >=sys-power/pm-utils-1.1.1 to detect hibernate and similar things. pm-utils depends on various other things that did not work on my ppc64 system (PS3), yet wicd builds nicely without pm-utils.

After adding pm-utils to my profile/package.provided I could build and use wicd-1.6.0_beta3 without problems on my ppc64 system (PS3)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install wicd on ppc64




Using pm-utils could be depend on a useflag or simply be excluded for the ppc64 arch.

simply put, the package is not 100% working because upstream provides no way to "disable" pm-utils support. I don't support shipping broken packages. =/

I'll think about this more later and bug upstream about it.

Michael,
I added a pm-utils USE flag, please test 1.6.0 with this flag disabled and then I will request the ppc64 keyword after you confirm. Thanks.

(just added to tree minutes ago)

You email was excluded from the previous comment, adding you to CC so you can follow up. Thanks.

grr, still excluded. You make it surprisingly difficult to contact your through bugzilla. This bug will wait until a confirmation happens.

[Comment 5 Michael 2009-07-09 11:37:23 UTC]

Please excuse my slow response! Additionally I have a different harddrive in my PS3 right now, so I cannot confirm it. But I can hardly imagine that it would not work, and also following the IRC-discussions I would say we could close this bug.

It will probably take a while until I run my PS3 gentoo again...

I think it will work. 

@ppc64: other distros support wicd on the PS3. Please add your keyword (and mask the pm-utils USE flag)

thanks.

Thanks for the note, but you can't resolve bugs if it isn't done yet! We will leave this open for the ppc64 team to add the ~ppc64 keyword
