Description Ambroz Bizjak 2012-09-18 15:26:01 UTC

Title says it all. Fix is to set GENTOO_DEPEND_ON_PERL=no before inheriting perl-module.

Reproducible: Always

No, the title doesn't say it all. Please describe exactly when and where dev-lang/perl is required.

Comment 2 Ambroz Bizjak 2012-09-18 15:49:15 UTC

perl-module.eclass has this:

                case "${GENTOO_DEPEND_ON_PERL:-yes}" in
                        yes)
                                DEPEND="dev-lang/perl[-build]"
                                RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"
                                ;;
                esac

This code add a DEPEND+RDEPEND dependency on Perl even if perl USE flag is disabled for subversion.

The mentioned version has been removed from the main tree, the actual version is now 1.7.9. Please open a new bug against the actual version, if you still have an issue with it.
