emerging isdn4k-utils fails if tcl is not emerged (tcl.h not found), this should be fixed
thx for pointing that out, fixed :)
sorry to break your harmony in this. but i found this recent addition quite annoying. on my server running silently in the corner i don't have X installed. emerging isdn4kutils works fine without having tcl installed. i don't have tcl and i don't want it. but now it's beeing pulled in when i do a deep update. my investigation pointed this package out. so i tried again and it works fine without TCL. so maybe tcl is only needed when you use X11, too? probably for tcl/tk? i don't know. but i don't want to have tcl on my system and emerging the utils works just fine. so i suggest we make the inclusion of tcl depending on the use of X11 or wherever it is needed. for now i've just removed the tcl dep. in an overlay copy in my tree. but it should imho be done in a cleaner way and for all the users. thank you! (just tried to REOPEN this bug, but i lack the proper rights... so i just leave it the way it is and don't just file another one. someone with the necessary permissions please do so.)
Sorry, but it cannot be removed. If tcl is not installed, vbox won't be installed and -r3 will even fail. Tcl has nothing to do and does not require X, it's just a scripting language. Tk provides the X bindings for tcl.
I can prove that it will fail to emerge if tcl is not installed. I also had no tcl installed before (but X), but when emerging the current isdn4k-utils it failed saying tcl.h not found. Is this vbox thing needed for everyone or would it be an good idea to enable it depending on an USE-flag?
yeah, i know that tk is the toolkit or whatever and tcl the language. but i wonder why it works for me then. i know i'm using isdn4k-utils-3.2_p1-r2 and not -r3... but why do the isdn utils need tcl? well okay, i guess it's not the ebuild maintainer's problem. i'm just unwilling to have another dep in my system, when it worked without before ;-) well -- i guess i'll have to tweak this on my own somehow.
