Description Thomas Capricelli 2008-07-18 03:41:47 UTC
I dont know if i should fill two bugs for this or if it would be considered spamming.
I wanted to install pychess on a very old ppc, and gentoo wanted to install the whole gnome AND evolution AND firefox (from _source_!) AND lot of other stuff, some of which would not even compile.

So i've changed the DEPEND this way
----------
DEPEND="dev-python/pygtk
    dev-python/pygobject
    dev-python/pycairo
    dev-python/pysqlite
    dev-python/pygtksourceview
    gstreamer? ( dev-python/gst-python )
    x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme"
-----------

and far less stuff was installed. It works...

though i should tell you. I've added ~ppc too, and it works well on this old ibook2.


Reproducible: Always

It seems like all you did was this:

As for the ~ppc keyword, that matter can only be resolved when this fix is in, because as you said some of that stuff would not even compile.
Comment 2 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-31 05:29:03 UTC
dev-python/gnome-python-desktop is listed in the dependency by the upstream author.  You might want to ask that they change the list of required packages in the INSTALL file as well as the list at http://gnomefiles.org/app.php/pychess
Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-11 06:43:07 UTC
we'll stay with the upsteam recommendations.
