If this meant anything to me I'd do it right now... can someone please tell me what in the world is being suggested here? Look, e.g., in app-editors/nano-2.3.1-r2: RDEPEND="nls? ( virtual/libintl )" DEPEND="nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )" (In reply to comment #1) > If this meant anything to me I'd do it right now... can someone please tell > me what in the world is being suggested here? Hi, does my previous comment answer your questions? The point is to separate run-time depend on nls (which is typically located in glibc), and build-time dependency on full-blown gettext tools. So instead of having gettext in RDEPEND, we have libintl in RDEPEND and gettext in DEPEND. + 09 Dec 2012; Rick Farina <zerochaos@gentoo.org> -powertop-1.11.ebuild, + -powertop-2.0.ebuild, -powertop-2.1-r1.ebuild, -powertop-2.1.ebuild, + powertop-2.2-r1.ebuild: + fix gettext deps per bug #398977 and clean out old ebuilds I spoke to a few other devs finally and I believe what you requested makes sense and has been done. Can't say I fully understand so if I messed up please feel free to reopen and tease me. Thanks for the report. > (In reply to comment #1)

is this true for all packages using gettext?
(In reply to comment #5) > is this true for all packages using gettext? Not necessarily, since they can potentially use the binaries at runtime. I didn't encounter such packages so far. Maybe @flameeys, who added the virtual originally, knows better. |
