Description Jason Switzer 2008-10-04 04:05:38 UTC

parrot is using bad dependencies. The only dependencies should be icu (if building against ICU), perl (DEPEND only), and automake (DEPEND only). See the README link in the URL for more information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge parrot

Actual Results:  
Depends on python-2.4*, gpu, gdbm, ncurses, readline

Expected Results:  
Only depends on dev-lang/perl-5*, automake, and icu (IUSE).

Current & Fixed ebuild

The attached ebuild properly installs the current 0.7.1 release. The mirrors do not have this file, so the URL will have to change (s/http/mirror/).

This ebuild also rectifies the dependencies according to the parrot README.

1.7.0 has minimized deps. Closing.
