OK, removed the object in 0.78.1 until there's a from-source ebuild to depend on. Hi! As I'd like to use the syncML feature of taskcoach: How about adding a use-flag controlled dependency to pysyncml? It is availible both as precompiled binaries for different python versions as well as a source tarball from https://pysyncml.forge.funambol.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=0&expandFolder=0&folderID=184 Regards Nils Reopening, but I don't know when I will have time to look into packaging pysyncml. I managed to package pysyncml to add SyncML support to taskcoach. The point is that pysyncml is not updated against the latest Funambol C++ SDK (requires an old library, i.e. 7.6.1) and still needs fixes for python 3.x. At the end it works and I was able to sync task with Memtoo service :-) Created attachment 297103 [details]

taskcoach installs a shared object: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/taskcoachlib/bin.in/linux/_pysyncml.so This shared object is linked opposite python 2.5, even on systems that do not have that version of python installed. This play havoc with revdep-rebuild, which sees that the object is missing a dependency and tries to recompile taskcoach every time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge python:2.6 2. emerge -C python:2.5 3. emerge taskcoach 4. revdep-rebuild Actual Results: taskcoach will be rebuilt at step four (and every further time revdep-rebuild is run). Expected Results: no rebuild necessary taskcoach ebuild contains the following: if ! use x86; then elog "Removing Funambol support, works only on x86." rm -fv taskcoachlib/bin.in/linux/*.so || die fi I suggest that the funambol support be removed unconditionally, as it is useless except on x86 systems with an old version of python installed.
