Bug 30196 – transcode depends on openquicktime as well as virtual/quicktime?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-10-02 14:01:38 UTC]

transcode has a dependency on both virtual/quicktime and
media-libs/openquicktime.  This should only be virtual/quicktime since otherwise
I'd be forced install openquicktime, which is 2 year old, over libquicktime,
which released this month.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Just my 2 cents.  I am too interested in seeing this fixed.

bash-2.05b# emerge -p transcode

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] media-libs/quicktime4linux ("virtual/quicktime" from pkg
media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1)
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/transcode-0.6.6

I've got the same problem. Staying tuned.

[Comment 3 Joshua Banks 2003-10-03 22:48:09 UTC]

Is this same bug related to the following as well?

emerge -uDp world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] app-editors/nano-1.2.2 [1.2.1]
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/libsdl-1.2.6-r1 [1.2.5-r2]
[ebuild     U ] media-gfx/gimp-print-4.3.21 [4.3.18]
[blocks B     ] net-www/netscape-flash (from pkg net-www/gplflash-0.4.10-r3)
[ebuild     U ] net-www/gplflash-0.4.10-r3 [0.4.10-r2]

openquicktime-1.0-r1.ebuild is wrong.

  - PROVIDES="virtual/quicktime"
  + PROVIDE="virtual/quicktime

So, when emerge -u world, libquicktime is installed.
And libquicktime is blocking openquicktime.

marc what do you think about this ?


06 Oct 2003; Martin Holzer <[e-mail]> openquicktime-1.0-r1.ebuild:
fixed typo. PROVIDES -> PROVIDE.

[Comment 6 Marc Hildebrand (RETIRED) 2003-10-05 05:08:10 UTC]

Yepp, that works _if_ you unemerge openquicktime and libquicktime (depending
on what was installed before) and remove openquicktime from the transcode-deps.

Still, there are two things to consider:
 - does transcode work (properly) with openquicktime?
 - is a "virtual/quicktime" necessary if it doesn't?

[Comment 7 Bob Thomas 2003-10-06 08:38:40 UTC]

After unmerging openquicktime, revdep-rebuild still says that everything
is fine, which means that transcode isn't even using openquicktime.

[Comment 8 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-10-06 10:25:56 UTC]

This is in the transcode ebuild:

    use quicktime \
        && myconf="${myconf} --with-qt --with-openqt" \
        || myconf="${myconf} --without-qt --without-openqt"

This is from transcode's configure:

  --with-qt               build quicktime dependent module (no)
  --with-qt-includes=PFX  prefix where local quicktime includes are installed
                          (optional)
  --with-qt-libs=PFX      prefix where local quicktime libs are installed
                          (optional)
  --with-openqt           build openquicktime dependent module (no)
  --with-openqt-includes=PFX
                          prefix where local openquicktime includes are
                          installed (optional)
  --with-openqt-libs=PFX  prefix where local openquicktime libs are installed
                          (optional)

So we'd for sure have to take out the openqt specs in $myconf.

[Comment 9 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-10-06 10:26:47 UTC]

Perhaps we need an "openqt" local USE flag for transcode to choose openquicktime
over libquicktime.  That is, if transcode works with libquicktime.

[Comment 11 Bob Thomas 2003-10-07 09:23:19 UTC]

If it can be built with both, why do they block each other?

[Comment 12 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-10-07 14:15:18 UTC]

you could do that with has_version instead of a local useflag

[Comment 13 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-10-11 04:15:06 UTC]

fixed in all versions. it now checks if openquicktime is installed it compiles
against it, otherwise it compiles with libquicktime
