Description Bernhard 2019-08-18 18:12:48 UTC

By default, Gentoo only compiles the GnuTLS libs without tools:
/usr/bin/gnutls-cli
/usr/bin/gnutls-serv
/usr/bin/ocsptool
/usr/bin/certtool
/usr/bin/srptool
/usr/bin/gnutls-cli-debug
/usr/bin/psktool

In order to compile these, the local USE=tools flag must be set. But only then, net-libs/gnutls[tools] has a BDEPEND on sys-devel/autogen, which in turn has a depend on GUILE.

When compiling the default (libs-only), there is no such dependency in the Gentoo emake.

Since the default source of GnuTLS (>=3.6.7) does not rely on GUILE/autogen, and its tools can be compiled without GUILE (even setting USE=tools and emerge --nodeps works), this seems to be a bogus dependency and thus be removed.

Comment 1 Francesco Turco 2023-12-31 16:40:20 UTC

It seems none of the current ebuilds for net-libs/gnutls have a dependency on sys-devel/autogen. Should this bug be closed?
