dev-util/poedit-1.2.1 has a disabled dependency on db and should be fixed. The
configure script needs to be changed to detect db4 correctly.

[Comment 1 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-06-28 05:32:51 UTC]

yes, i'll fix that. again this was before db4 was versioned.

[Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-06-28 16:36:41 UTC]

paul, do it need to work with db4 or can it still continue to use db3 ? 

[Comment 3 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2003-06-29 05:06:13 UTC]

For me it does not need to build with db4, but then make sure that it does build with db3 in a mixed situation, and of course that the dependencies are right. Else you might want to look to some of the patches I did in for example apache-1.3.37-r? Basically it involves some simple changes to the CONFIGURE scripts

ok, will it be alright if i do change the dep to =sys-libs/db-3*? 

it works fine in a db3/db4 parallel installation, but does not if it is a db4 only installation.

[Comment 5 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2003-06-29 07:54:58 UTC]

For me it is, although at some point db4 support must be enabled.

[Comment 6 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-07-03 16:14:35 UTC]

i've just committed a fix for 1.2.1 with the =dev-db/db-3* solution. i have poedit-1.2.2 on the wings which i'll try and fix to be compat with db-4. but i'm holding off right now because of wxGTK problems.

[Comment 7 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-07-08 18:09:33 UTC]

poedit 1.2.2 is in portage now that supports db-4.
