Bug 89164 – rbot depends on old rexml

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xavier Neys (RETIRED) 2005-04-15 01:57:11 UTC]

rbot wants to bring in old rexml.
rexml is now part of the ruby distribution.
I removed the dependency, works fine for me.

Xavier, the metadata.xml states that rbot is owned by net-irc, not the Ruby herd. I'm therefore reassigning this bug.

@net-irc:
Maybe the following depend could be of help for you (it's taken from the Raggle ebuilds):

DEPEND="|| ( >=dev-lang/ruby-1.8
	( ~dev-lang/ruby-1.6.8 dev-ruby/shim-ruby18 )
	dev-lang/ruby-cvs )"

So if the user has Ruby 1.8 or 1.9 (CVS) then he is all set because this versions already include rexml. If he's still using Ruby 1.6 we additionally need to install shim-ruby18, which is a set of packages that provides Ruby 1.8 features for Ruby 1.6.

I've adjusted it to be the following depend:

|| (
        >=virtual/ruby-1.8
        (
                =virtual/ruby-1.6*
                (
                        dev-ruby/rexml
                        dev-ruby/shim-ruby18
                )
        )
)

That means if

=virtual/ruby-1.6* *AND* ( dev-ruby/shim-ruby18 *OR* dev-ruby/rexml )

are installed we'll take it. If only =virtual/ruby-1.6* is installed, we will
force an update to >=virtual/ruby-1.8.
