Description Emil Beinroth 2005-01-09 05:51:55 UTC

The viewcvs-ebuild wants apache to be installed .. but apache isn't needed. Please 
remove apache from RDEPEND.

I second this request.  I have recently set up viewcvs-1.0_pre20050523 to work
with the latest stable lighttpd with no modifications needed at all.  All I did
was edit the ebuild and remove the apache2 requirement.

Perharps a virtual for cgi engines would be welcome.

Comment 3 Danny 2005-09-04 19:12:17 UTC

You don't even need cgi.  ViewCVS also can run in standalone server mode, no
separate server required.

Thanks for the heads up, sorry about the crappiness in that part of the ebuild.
I'll look into that as soon as I can. Any patches would be liked!

New ebuild snapshot that fixes this issue. Please try viewcvs-1.0_pre20050929
and reopen if you have issues. I'll eventually convert the older (stable)
ebuilds to this format after this one has been tested.
