Bug 185801 – media-tv/tvmovie2vdr 0.5.13 depends on vdr, but there is a script to use it with MythTv

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description maduser 2007-07-18 19:54:33 UTC]

There is a script tvm2xml on http://mythtv.linux-dude.de/. With this you can use tvmovie2vdr to generate xmltv for MythTv. But tvmovie2vdr depends on vdr. So it is installed but not used. So please remove the depend or make it on a use flag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install tvmovie2vdr

Actual Results:  
Installs vdr

Expected Results:  
Dont install vdr

Removed the depend on vdr.

[Comment 2 Matthias Schwarzott 2007-07-20 11:25:01 UTC]

Added back vdr dependency to tvmovie2vdr-0.9.13, as it used user vdr which was not-existing without vdr on the system. Need to solve this in ~arch 0.9.14.

@Cardoe:
What do you suggest to do, as the pathes are atm adjusted for vdr, and it uses user vdr?

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-07-20 15:06:17 UTC]

why does it need the user? Can we run it as nobody:nobody by default and leave it up to the user to switch?

Or... USE=vdr mythtv... if USE=mythtv, then it's the mythtv user and depends on mythtv being installed.. if it's vdr, then it depends on vdr and uses the vdr user.

fyi: the mythtv pkg adds a mythtv user just like vdr does.

Should we mark this wontfix since its opened for 2 years?

[Comment 6 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2012-07-17 01:36:27 UTC]

Well 3 years ago I asked if we should close this out due to lack of attention for 2 years. I'm guessing we should close this out.
