Bug 315551 – app-laptop/batti does not depend on dev-python/python-distutils-extra

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Hi,

I just realized, that you made batti depend on dev-python/python-distutils-extra in the ebuild of version 0.3.1. That is something new I didn't know before. I could be wrong, but I just removed that dependency in an overlay, and batti installed without a problem.
The distutils import in setup.py should use the package from python's default installation.
Am I missing something, or can that dependency be removed?

In setup.py you do:
from DistUtilsExtra.command import *

Thats the reason for the dependency.

Ok, just realized I had removed it short after 0.3.1. It was never needed. My fault, sorry. When you update to 0.3.4, could you remove that dependency? Everything really needed is the simple setup, that's part of python's core:
from distutils.core import setup
Also, when you update: please skip 0.3.2 and 0.3.3, they were faulty. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.

dunno, I needed python-distutils-extra with 0.31 when executing the distutils outside of portage... seems to work now without. weird.

This has been fixed in CVS/batti-0.3.4, thanks.
