Bug 878309 – mail-client/claws-mail-4.1.1: dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Kurakin 2022-10-25 19:01:40 UTC]

mail-client/claws-mail-4.1.1 has some possible dependencies issues:

1. Minimal autoconf version is 2.69 [1]. We don't require it.

2. Seems like vCalendar plugin requires Perl [2].

3. Release Notes says about GLib >= 2.50 dependency but I can't see anything about it in the code...

Maybe, more... Thanks.

This is a non-issue as the eclass depends on >= 2.71.

them closing the bug for that seems aggressive if the release notes are wrong..

[Comment 4 Alexander Kurakin 2022-10-26 08:43:06 UTC]

Sam, there is an undecided p.2 :)

[Comment 5 Sam James 2022-10-26 08:54:28 UTC]

Not you, I mean upstream response re release notes :)

2. Seems like vCalendar plugin requires Perl: https://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=blob;f=configure.ac;h=f0fe8f2357bf72804310df5510893e02a0668773;hb=4.1.1#l2086

3. GLib dependency was increased to 2.50 on live: https://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=commitdiff;h=a269d94f63c93562a4b356642e87c00cfd0d2291

OK so to recap:
1. autoconf is good per eclass - nothing to do
2. USE=calendar should have perl dependency
   Related to that USE=perl only has RDEPEND currently but it has a configure check also - it should be moved to COMMONDEPEND
   Same issue for rss plugin, there are autoconf checks
I will fix this in revbump for 4.1.1

3. glib is overall required for build, so for next release: depend unconditionally on glib>=2.50 and remove conditional deps on glib (litehtml and notification)
