Bug 471368 – dev-libs/folks-0.9.1 USE="telepathy -vala" depends on USE=zeitgeist

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description crabbed halo ablution 2013-05-26 22:53:53 UTC]

See also upstream commit:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/folks/commit/?id=a24ec72eecd68cda328cd93f8896e3c1d9952452

Results if compiling with USE="telepathy -zeitgeist":

tpf-persona-store.c:34:23: fatal error: zeitgeist.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
tpf-persona.c:34:23: fatal error: zeitgeist.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

AND
Since all the zeitgeist use-flag does (according to configure --help) is build zeitgeist support into the telepathy backend, it seems to me that it doesn't make much sense to have a separate zeitgeist use flag, unless some hacking can be done so the telepathy backend can build without zeitgeist support, so I propose just merging the two flags into USE="telepathy"

But we are now applying upstream patches to allow telepathy support without zeitgeist, doesn't it work? (probably I didn't notice build failure because, even if I tried disabling its support, zeitgeist was still present on my system):

Nope, the patches do nothing. As you can see, they were applied during the build.

Strange, I have removed all zeitgeist and still compiles ok for me :|

It occurs when vala is also disabled :O

This change now causes the following problem: gnome-extra/gnome-contacts-3.8.3 depends on dev-libs/folks[vala], but dev-libs/folks doesn't have the vala USE flag anymore.

Just solved, syncing in some minutes should help. Thanks!
