Bug 107127 – RDEPEND needs to be set explicetly if using depend.apache eclass

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sven Wegener 2005-09-24 16:47:09 UTC]

Example: www-apache/mod_tcl-1.0-r1

> DEPEND="dev-lang/tcl"
> 
> [...]
> 
> need_apache2

need_apache2 will append dependencies to DEPEND and RDEPEND. Portage won't do
the automatic RDEPEND="${DEPEND}" thing because RDEPEND has been set, resulting
in an missing RDEPEND on tcl.

Pretty sure there are other modules affected by this bug.



Example: www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.1-r2

> # see bug 30087 for why sudo is in here
> need_apache2
> 
> DEPEND="!dev-perl/Apache-Test
>         dev-lang/perl
>         >=perl-core/CGI-3.08
>         >=dev-perl/Compress-Zlib-1.09
>         >=net-www/apache-2.0.47
>         app-admin/sudo"

This will reset DEPEND and render need_apache2 useless for DEPEND. Don't know
if this is really what you want, because you're overriding the dependencies
that need_apache2 injects.

All of the packages I listed are now fixed in CVS.
I have also added the following note to the eclasses (depend.apache and apache-module):

# NOTE: If you use this, be sure you use the need_* call after you have
# defined DEPEND and RDEPEND. Also note that you can not rely on the 
# automatic RDEPEND=DEPEND that portage does if you use this eclass.
# See bug 107127 for more information.
