Description Tomáš "tpruzina" Pružina (amd64 [ex]AT) 2013-05-03 19:53:20 UTC

-git[curl] is needed for http/https git-clone
-some 9999 ebuilds contain EGIT_REPO_URI="http[s]://.. a.git"

and thus fail to emerge unless this git[curl] is installed.

Could we make git eclasses depend on this?

Reproducible: Always




~75 packages are 'affected' in (my) portage tree:

ptree$ find . -name '*-9999.ebuild' | xargs fgrep "EGIT_REPO_URI=\"http" | wc
     75      89    7441

Well, this is somewhat possible. However, it will work only if EGIT_REPO_URI is specified before the inherit, and people sometime prefer to keep it around SRC_URI.

I'd like to have a second opinion on this.

Use git-r3.eclass instead
