Bug 103556 – gnome/esd USE flags useless for ayttm ?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Jerome Potts 2005-08-23 23:53:45 UTC]

Emerging (-pv) ayttm wants esound although i have -esd. Going down the list of
dependencies teaches me that gdk-pixbuf is the one which would pull in esound.
But since i have -gnome, why does it want the gnome libs ? After trying a few
different things, i discover that if i specify the gnome USE flag, the list of
dependencies is exactly the same

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setting: no gnome stuff previously installed on this machine, -gnome in USE
since the original install, no gdm, no nothin.

2. # emerge -pv ayttm

3. # USE="gnome" emerge -pv ayttm


Actual Results:  
Step 1:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-libs/db-1.85-r2  279 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] media-sound/esound-0.2.34  +alsa +ipv6 +tcpd 310 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] gnome-base/orbit-0.5.17  1,040 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r3  574 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.2  -doc -kde +nls 2,807 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-r3  +X -doc +mmx 388 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] app-crypt/gpgme-0.3.14-r1  -doc 640 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] net-im/ayttm-0.4.6-r1  -esd -gnome +nls +truetype 1,333 kB 

Total size of downloads: 7,374 kB

Step 2: yields the same list of dependencies


Expected Results:  
First case should've yielded no gnome libs, consequently no esound

In addition, while examining the dependencies in the list pasted above, i also
discovered this:

# emerge -pv gpgme

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/pth-1.4.0  434 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] app-crypt/gpgme-1.0.2  814 kB 

Total size of downloads: 1,248 kB

...note that my previous emerge -pv ayttm above pulls gpgme, but which does not
that time pull pth. This is uncomprehensible to me.

Well, this line in the ebuild seems useless 

 gnome? ( >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.7 )

since media-libs/gdk-pixbuf RDEPENDs on gnome-libs (not optional). 

esd? ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.28 )

looks also redundant as gnome-libs depends on esound (also not optional). 

As gdk-pixbuf is needed, probably nothing can be done dependency-wise. Those
gnome/esd use flags are are used in src_compile(), so they are needed unless we
make esd/gnome support not optional (which might make sense since the
dependencies cannot be avoided anyway).

app-crypt/gpgme-0.3.14-r1 does not depend on dev-libs/pth, while gpgme-1.0.2
does; ayttm does not compile w/ >=gpgme-1 (Bug 78521) so this looks OK.

p.masked pending removal for Bug 154102.

WONTFIX.
