Bug 98470 – kompare and tidy, required for full functionality of quanta not built when emerging quanta

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Pat Callahan 2005-07-09 08:16:23 UTC]

The ebuild for quanta has the following dependencies:


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge startkde
2. emerge quanta
3. start quanta

Actual Results:  
A dialog box appears:

Some applications required for full functionality are missing:

- Tidy [http://tidy.sourceforge.net] - HTML syntax checking will not be available.

- Kompare [http://bruggie.dnsalias.org/kompare] - comparing of files by content
will not be available.

You may download the applications from the specified locations.on management
error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed



Expected Results:  
ebuild should have htmltidy and kompare as pre-requisites

Note that "tidy" is listed in IUSE
and again as tidy? ( app-text/htmltidy)"  in the dependencies section of the ebuild.

workaround:  Emerge the following packages in any order:

emerge htmltidy
emerge kompare
emerge quanta

USE="tidy" emerge quanta

[Comment 2 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2005-07-09 15:22:09 UTC]

In fact tidy and kompare are not strict requirements, but recommended 
additions, that the user is free to install after seeing the message.  
 
So I think it is best to not add them as dependencies.
