Hi, I'm kinda new in this, but I think I spotted, and fixed a problem in the NM-Applet e-build... RDEPEND=">=dev-libs/glib-2.16 >=dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.74 >=sys-apps/dbus-1.2 >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.14 >=gnome-base/gconf-2.20 >=gnome-extra/polkit-gnome-0.92 >=x11-libs/libnotify-0.4.3 >=gnome-base/libglade-2 >=gnome-base/gnome-keyring-2.20 >= gnome-extra/polkit-gnome-0.96 >=dev-libs/libnl-1.1 >=net-misc/networkmanager-${PV} >=net-wireless/wireless-tools-28_pre9 >=net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.5.7 || ( >=gnome-base/gnome-panel-2 xfce-base/xfce4-panel x11-misc/trayer ) net-misc/mobile-broadband-provider-info bluetooth? ( >=net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth-2.27.6 )" Would have fixed to problem I think, and when that doesn't do the trick.... DEPEND="${RDEPEND} dev-util/pkgconfig gnome-extra/polkit-gnome >=dev-util/intltool-0.35" Would probably do the trick... Greets from Me! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge nm-applet 2. wait a bit... 3. see what happens... ;) Actual Results: E-build failed.... Expected Results: Someone takes a look, and sees that the above fixed the problem I don't think emerge --info is a nescessity in this... (Forgive me for not taking the advanced english course...)
Could you please explain two things: 1) What the actual problem is (failing build log?). 2) What your solution is (I don't see an explanation of what you propose to change, just a DEPEND and RDEPEND list).
I don't have the failing build log anymore... What happened is that the emerge of nm-applet failed to build and after I installed polkit-gnome it did emerge... So accidently I checked the ebuild, and saw that there wasn't a entry for the gnome-polkit... So I figured, with the RDEPEND, or DEPEND entry of polkit-gnome it would work...
Thanks for the clarification. That we can put to the maintainers.
nm-applet-0.7.2 uses policykit. Polkit is the rewrite of policykit, and nm-applet cannot possible use it since it was written before polkit was released.
When I emerged it, polkit-gnome, it emerged just fine... Sophie
(In reply to comment #5) > When I emerged it, polkit-gnome, it emerged just fine... > I just re-checked configure.ac, and it says the following: ----- #### PolicyKit checks; need at least 0.6 or later PKG_CHECK_EXISTS(polkit-gnome,[have_polkit_gnome=yes],[have_polkit_gnome=no]) if test x"$have_polkit_gnome" = "xyes"; then PKG_CHECK_MODULES(POLKIT, polkit-gnome) else PKG_CHECK_MODULES(POLKIT, [polkit >= 0.6]) PKG_CHECK_MODULES(POLKIT_DBUS, [polkit-dbus >= 0.6]) AC_DEFINE([NO_POLKIT_GNOME],[1],[Define if you don't have PolicyKit-gnome 0.7 or later]) fi AM_CONDITIONAL(NO_POLKIT_GNOME, test x"$have_polkit_gnome" = "xno") ----- Please note this snippet checks for "polkit-gnome.pc" (a pkgconfig file): PKG_CHECK_MODULES(POLKIT, polkit-gnome) This is provided by gnome-extra/policykit-gnome: # q files -e policykit-gnome | grep polkit-gnome.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/polkit-gnome.pc # *Not* gnome-extra/polkit-gnome: # q files -e polkit-gnome | grep polkit-gnome.pc # ---- Yes, the names are confusing (blame upstream for that), but configure.ac clearly says that it needs gnome-extra/policykit-gnome, not gnome-extra/polkit-gnome. Please understand that we can't make a change unless we understand *why* that change is required. Without a build.log, I cannot diagnose your nm-applet build failure and find out exactly *how* adding polkit-gnome to the RDEPEND list fixed the build failure. Thank you for filing the bug report, but unless you can reproduce the failure and past a build.log, my hands are tied. Also, if you're confused about the differences between policykit and polkit, please see http://dev.gentoo.org/~nirbheek/polkit/naming.html
