Bug 671444 – dev-python/pytidylib: use html5-tidy instead of htmltidy

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2018-11-18 15:51:15 UTC]

As upstream only supports tidy-html5 for years

Thanks

This is blocking my world upgrade, because tidy-html5 blocks htmltidy

Tests pass fine with htmltidy but one test fail with tidy-html5. Can anyone else reproduce this?

[Comment 4 Bruce Schultz 2019-12-03 12:24:09 UTC]

I can confirm the test failure with tidy-html5. I've reported it upstream: https://github.com/countergram/pytidylib/issues/29

I've had pytidylib installed from a local overlay with the dependencies modified to work with either htmltidy or tidy-html5 with this:

RDEPEND="|| ( app-text/tidy-html5 app-text/htmltidy )

Would it be feasible to get such a change into gentoo, perhaps with the order reversed so that htmltidy would be installed by default, but it could still be swapped easily?

monsieurp and I have decided that since HTACG Tidy is the official successor of W3C Tidy rather than just a fork (see the 2015-01-25 news item on http://tidy.sourceforge.net/), we will merge html5-tidy into htmltidy. Therefore, it an alternative in RDEPEND is no longer needed.

BTW. tidylib passes all tests against the latest version of HTACG Tidy, available in the tree as app-text/htmltidy-5.8.0-r1.
