Kindly review http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity
Comment 2 DocReedSolomon 2007-05-24 19:39:47 UTC
oops, you are right, jakub, sorry <blush>

well, it blocks KDE to be emerged succesfully, because emerge -upDv world always likes to re-emerge kdelibs 3.5.6 infact of this. (pykde 3.5.6 depends on kdelibs 3.5.6)

i stand corrected!

PS: yes, i know it is still hardmasked, anyway, though, you might to be informed about this, i thought. and, no, simply using the pykde-3.5.6-python-2.4.patch by just renaming it to pykde-3.5.7-python-2.4.patch does not help, i already checked this one out.
a new patchdiff is needed (if at all?).
Comment 3 DocReedSolomon 2007-05-25 20:19:55 UTC
hmm, simply removeing the patches dosnt compile either.
anyone?
Comment 4 Jan-Peter Arndt 2007-05-27 20:05:46 UTC
Simply removing the patch worked for me.

As far as I remember is pykde very picky about the installed version of dev-python/sip. I have sip-4.2.1-r1 installed. Maybe you have another version installed and that is what stops the compiling of pykde on your system?
Comment 5 DocReedSolomon 2007-05-28 10:15:55 UTC
yeah, had lots of troubles with sip/PyQtQscintilla, but i am using dev-python/sip-4.2.1-r1 as well, hmm..

from my package.mask:
>dev-python/qscintilla-1.5.1
>dev-python/sip-4.2.1-r1
>dev-python/PyQt-3.14.1-r2
Comment 6 DocReedSolomon 2007-05-28 10:53:29 UTC
recompiled qscintilla, sip and PyQt (versions see above) and it compiled here as well now (removeing the EPATCH line from the ebuild). thx!

though.. this isnt a fix, we have no idea what the patches do. to me it looks like it compiled its own SIP now (the one from the kdebindings package)

Comment 7 DocReedSolomon 2007-05-29 18:50:10 UTC
jesus fscking christ, 5 days, and not even one simple reply by the ebuild maintainer :-(

hey, we are talking an official KDE stable release here, by kde.org, right?
everyone else in any other distro is using it fine, so it should at last compile without the need to blatantly patch in manually ;(

anyone?

Sprockhoevel rang a bell already but I should have known you by your style, Dieter. Please remember we're not in FidoNet here so leave the mud outside, please. My name should still be familiar and if it isn't anymore: 2:2437/209.

Stop that, please.

In case you haven't noticed: 7 out of 11 kde herd members are "officially" away currently. Another one or two are just not around.

We're working on Gentoo voluntarily in our spare time. You, as a former Fido node, should know what that sometimes means.

> hey, we are talking an official KDE stable release here, by kde.org, right?

Yes, want to take a look at their bugtracker yourself? Quite a few bugs for 3.5.7.

> anyone?

I'll take care of this as soon as my time permits.
Comment 9 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-29 21:18:17 UTC
Ok, this is fixed. The patch is simply obsolete. It was needed for compatibility with Python 2.4 but it has been applied by upstream in 3.5.7.
