Description Barry Mead 2005-04-18 03:31:55 UTC

When you try to install the (huge) kde package from the binary packages CDROM
(always worked on older gentoo distributions) it will not install claiming that
there is no binary package for glib-1.2.  The only way to get kde to install
is from source (requires about 20 hours of compile time)  This is seriously
broken.  One of the main reasons for the binary packages CD is to be able to 
bypass the super long compile time for kde.  Please fix this BUG!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.mount packages-athlon-xp-2005.0 cdrom
2.export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom"
3.emerge -K kde

Actual Results:  
There was no way to resolve the dependancy on glib-1.2 without doing an emerge
sync then emerge glib
After that was done there was no way to get the binary package to accept the
updated portage tree, so binary loading of kde was no longer possible

Expected Results:  
This really sucks!  It shouldn't take 20 hours (always) to install kde!

I have to confirm this.

At least 
- leaving the snapshot distributed from cd 
- downloading a "glib-1.2.10.tar.gz" from somewhere and copying it to the
distfiles-directory 

makes

emerge -k kde

running without further complains.

Fixed with 2005.1... though it is now kde-meta (which is better anyway... :P)

I apologise for this bugspam, but I wish to close this product, so I need to
move all the bugs.
