Description Markus Tacker 2005-04-18 08:35:28 UTC

kdewebdev-3.4.0 depends on kdebase-3.4.0

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Drill it down to split ebuilds.
I used

DEPEND="~kde-base/kate-${PV}
    ~kde-base/konqueror-${PV}
    doc? ( app-doc/quanta-docs )"

I wonder why you are not using split ebuilds for kdewebdev...

Comment 2 Markus Tacker 2005-04-19 07:25:53 UTC

Well, I am now.

Probably there's a very low demand for using monolithic ancillary packages together with splitted core packages, so I think supporting it is not worthy.
If there are no objections, we can close this bug...

Comment 4 Markus Tacker 2005-05-17 02:12:27 UTC

@#3: Agreed.

I don't think adding || ( kdebase kdebase-meta ) is any maintenance overhead
because the two should give identical installations? I agree that fine tuning
the dependencies would be extra work at this point. I can even add these to
3.5.0 myself if you give me the permission. At least I found it useful to use
the monolithic ebuilds when finding all the setuid programs.
