Bug 185841 – dev-util/pida-0.5.0 dependency tweaks

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE

[Description Steve L 2007-07-19 08:28:25 UTC]

Hi,

  I submitted the ebuild in bug 184040 as I want to use PIDA (ofc ;) I think it needs a dependency tweak, as the pida devs are about to document that, on Gentoo, too much stuff is pulled in. I think it should be fine to replace the gnome-python dep with a gconf one (most stuff gets pulled in by pyGTK in any case) and leave gnome-python to be pulled in by gnome-python-extras for gnome users.

<leio> gconf-python itself just deps on gconf, which in turns depends on just orbit, and that on libIDL. That's about it besides glib.

Also, while patching this, I noticed gvim and bicyclerepair have been moved from RDEPEND to DEPEND. This is incorrect according to the pida devs. Also, I had gvim-7 in there as that's in stable. If it works with lower, cool, but it seemed to make sense to use stable versions as base. Guess that's not so cool, huh? :-)


Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 125316 [details]
pida-0.5.0.ebuild

I'm just attaching the whole ebuild as now in my overlay. I didn't see the point in the MY_PV variable at all, and the patch was quite long due to moving stuff back to RDEPEND. AIUI it should be a new revision since it would pull in new deps, but someone who already has pida might not want to update (unless of course they were actually running --depclean as recommended on the forums.) Dunno how the revisioning works in that instance.

I'm fairly certain it doesn't need pyOrbit, due to leio's comment above.

Bleh I am wrong about that last bit, since qfile says 
dev-python/gnome-python (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.so)

Man sorry for spam; I will ask around some more about how we can get the python gconf stuff without all the rest of it.

More or less dupe of Bug 184670.

Er it's similar as it's about gnome-python, but it's not the same; that one was because gnome-python was listed as a dep only if USE=gnome was set. pida needs py-gconf unconditionally.

This one is about how to get py-gconf without all the other stuff that gets pulled in by gnome-python. It really comes down to being able to remerge gnome-python when a new lib is installed (which a python package needs bindings to) instead of pulling all the libs in first. (Since gnome-python source just configures to whatever is on the system.) Obviously, that's not even under consideration while 18 is being stabled; I'm not even sure it can be done.

Is it possible now after gnome-python ebuilds were split to tweak this ebuild now?
