Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-04 01:07:44 UTC
dev-util/eclipse-cdt-2.0-r2 depends on nonexistant =dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.0.0* and fails w/ all newer versions. Also, has sandbox issues and multiple other build problems (see the bugs this bug depends on).

I have no issue with package.masking and removing this package.

Ideally, I would drop all the eclipse plugins we currently have in the tree. This is because they are currently a pain in the arse to maintain.

Instead, I'd push towards using eclipse-3.2, which allows users to use the builtin 'Update Manager'.

Also, there is work being done with collaboration with other distros (ie Fedora/Redhat, Suse / Novel, Debian, us) to make it sane to package plugins.

So, my basic plan would be to eventually remove < eclipse-3.2, remove eclipse plugins, and work towards repackaging them using the new method.

I'm not out to disrupt your plans with this package, so if you have one; I'm cool with closing this as INVALID or LATER and letting you do whatever you need to do for the migration.

Looks like nelcael took care of this sometime last week:

# Krzysiek Pawlik <nelchael@gentoo.org> (08 Jul 2006)
# Masked, because there's no compatible eclipse-sdk in tree,
# please use builtin update manager to install plugins for now.
=dev-util/ecletex-0.0.3
=dev-util/eclipse-cdt-2.0-r2

Marking fixed.
