Description wolfwood 2003-10-27 21:03:06 UTC
The eclipse-sdk ebuild depends sh-utils when the system is using coreutils instead of the old trio of utils.  As a result, when emerging eclipse-sdk, sh-utils is pulled in unneccessarily.

Also, on the tcsh dependency eclipse-sdk works with >=tcsh-6.11 not just >=tcsh-6.12
Comment 1 wolfwood 2003-10-27 21:21:48 UTC
I was going to attach a patch that "corrects" this, but that would end up
with the ebuild being incorrect for people who still use sh/bin/file-utils
instead of coreutils.  Is there a need for this dep ?  Everyone should have
either sh-utils or coreutils otherwise emerge wouldn't even work, right ?

If there is a need for a version of sh-utils better than <blank> OR coreutils,
I don't see how that could be represented in the ebuild as things are.  Either
boolean conditions in DEPEND and RDEPEND or a virtual sh/bin/file-utils that
can be versioned would be needed.

So it appears I can't really suggest/provide a fix in the end, sorry.

In any case eclipse-sdk works with coreutils instead of sh-utils, and the
tcsh dep can be changed to >=tcsh-6.11 at least.

Fixed. Didn't revise, as it doesn't change the installed program.
