Bug 70940 – xine-ui-0.99.3_pre20041022: why is it dependent on orbit-0.5.17?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Phil Richards 2004-11-12 02:38:50 UTC]

Ok, I actually sort of know the answer: it is to enable corba support
in xine-ui.

But, as far as I can tell from the xine-ui bug reports, corba support is
no longer actively supported.  Although there are some remnants of ORBit and
corba support in the source tree, there is no mention of orbit or corba
in the configure script, or config.h.
The source directory (src/corba) is empty.

I have just successfully configured and built this version of xine-ui
without first installing orbit-0.5.17 and it went through fine.  (Ok, I
didn't use ebuild, but I've carefully looked at the config logs and there
is no mention of corba or orbit *anywhere*.)

I suspect that the current dependency on ORBit is a dead one, and could
(should?) be removed.

closing, marking as fixed since the 0.99.3 version already dropped this dependency.
