Bug 199218 – gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager-2.16.3 fails to compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-11-15 09:26:55 UTC]

gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager-2.16.3 fails to compile on ppc64:

this is because 2.16.3 won't compile with gnome-doc-utils-0.10.3 (it compiles with 0.8.0). the reason this wasn't discovered so long is because everybody in the ppc64 teams seems to have upgraded from gnome 2.16 to gnome 2.18 and so already had 2.16.3 installed. Now that we are building packages for 2007.1 we finaly discovert this. (this is also mentioned in the forums now: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-601898.html)


I suggest we apply the following patch to gnome-2.18.3.ebuild:

there are two packages which need to go stable with gnome-2.18.3 on ppc64:

gnome-base/gnome/gnome-2.18.3.ebuild: ppc64(default-linux/ppc/ppc64/2006.1/64bit-userland) ['>=app-accessibility/orca-2.18.1', '>=gnome-extra/bug-buddy-2.18.1']


@gnome herd: can I make gnome-power-manager a conditional dependency for gnome-2.18.3 only? once we have hal stable and so can use a newer gnome-power-manger I would remove this condition again.

The sooner we can get a resolution on this the better.  This is impacting 2007.1 for me now.  As well as having brokeness in the current tree.

[Comment 2 Mart Raudsepp 2007-11-15 19:47:08 UTC]

Go ahead.
Also note that I'm targeting Gnome-2.20 for the release - I just don't know yet for sure if release team will go with it anymore. Due to some mess we prematurely decided to wait out roughly 30 days out of unmask and I'm filing stabilization before weekend now, 1.5-2 weeks later than previously planned for release.

[Comment 3 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-11-15 20:43:35 UTC]

fixed in CVS.

wolf: sorry, we are late again with fixing *things*.. Can you please inject the changes from the following packages into the snapshot?

app-accessibility/orca
gnome-extra/bug-buddy
gnome-base/gnome

[Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2007-11-16 00:35:18 UTC]

the fix isn't right. The doc is just borked. 2.16 will die soon enough anyway.

[Comment 5 Brent Baude (RETIRED) 2007-11-16 01:26:50 UTC]

Without some sort of fix, ppc64 cannot compile gnome.  Recommendations?

[Comment 6 Mart Raudsepp 2007-11-16 02:33:45 UTC]

Well, gnome-power-manager was made to not be required for gnome-2.18.3 meta, so is this a problem for the release?
I wonder if the 2.18 or 2.20 gnome-power-manager/HAL problems can't get fixed...

I don't get it. What do you mean with "doc is borked"? Which doc is broken?

This sure isn't the right fix, but it's a 'workaround' so users are able to compile gnome.

once we have fixed the hal issue we will sure add gnome-power-manager back in.

ah.. never write comments, when you haven't had your coffee yet...

you meant the doc, which makes gnome-power-manager fail...
