Bug 295675 – dev-util/cmake: Dependency on xmlrpc-c should be optional.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vsevolod Kozlov 2009-12-04 16:41:09 UTC]

At the moment, cmake will always pull in xmlrpc-c, even though it is only used
by CTest as one of the ways of reporting test results (and there are other ways
available, too).  Not a lot of people who have cmake pulled in as a build
dependency of other things use CTest with xmlrpc.  Additionally, the use of
xmlrpc-c can be disabled on build time.

Therefore, I think it should be possible to disable it using an USE flag.


Reproducible: Always

cmake doesn't depend on xmlrpc-c since 2009-06-11 11:24. The dependency is optional and defaults to OFF. cmake-2.8.0 doesn't need such dependency, just remove it from the ebuild.
