beep has: gnome? ( >=gnome-base/gnome-2.2 ) depending on a gnome meta package is a 'better' idea, but still doesn't seem to be necessary to me. although the ability to install to the gnome menus is nice, perhaps a dognomeapp [beep-media-player] of some sort would be a better possible solution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="gnome" emerge -pv beep-media-player 2. USE="-gnome" emerge -pv beep-media-player 3. compare outputs Actual Results: wanted to emerge gnome to use beep. Expected Results: not wanted to install gnome. it's not runtime dependant or compile time dependant on the app.
Hanno, you should _never ever_ be depending on gnome meta package. It is bad, very bad. Find the exact gnome deps and use those. Now i look @ the pack, the unzip dep is runtime ? Seems implausible to me ( the whole dep seems redundant). You probably forgot the pkgconfig buildtime dep. The order of RDEP & DEP is switched the wrong way. Install the .desktop in /usr/share/applications (might need fixing of the .desktop), now it is using the old spec. You don't need to make this gnome specific, with the new spec a lot more than gnome alone uses those .desktop's . Last but not least, the whole postinst is a big warning @ how unstable this pack is. Should this be in the live tree as it is? Consider p.mask-ing it.
has been fixed a while ago.
