Bug 29660 – libsoup optionally depends on gnutls

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stephane Loeuillet 2003-09-26 04:00:49 UTC]

After an emerge --depclean, i checked all libs and bins for broken deps.

i saw plenty of lines like :
libgnutls.so.7 => not found
libgcrypt.so.1 => not found

i looked which apps rely on those 2 and i found that evolution require those

bins :
/usr/bin/evolution
/usr/bin/evolution-1.4
/usr/bin/evolution-addressbook-export

libs :
/usr/lib/libsoup-2.0*
/usr/lib/evolution/1.4/*

So, on my machine, only evolution seems to need them without having them in its
ebuild

better put those 2 deps in libsoup deps, as libsoup is also an evolution dep

so, net-mail/evolution needs net-libs/libsoup which needs :
net-libs/gnutls
dev-libs/libgcrypt

those 2 are for GPG support into evolution

Reproducible: Always

its probably a dep of a dep, we need conclusive proof like libsoup configure
lines.

there you go, its optional. Since gnutls only got introduced to the tree
recently and soup uses it if its around by the looks of it. Please try to
define the problem more precise next time reporter.

It could probably go with the ssl flag like gossip or maybe a new flag. The
ebuild sais openssl is no option for some reason, does the same thing go
for gnutls ? Can you elaborate liquidx ?

[Comment 4 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-09-28 03:12:46 UTC]

basically exactly what foser said.

i've now added a patch to 1.99.26's autoconf stuff to respect a --with-ssl=gnutls|openssl
so we can force either one. also added a local useflag to enable gnutls support.
so by default, it will use openssl instead of gnutls. add the deps to libsoup
as well.
