HI folks, when using kdvi i discovered the export2pdf function is not working, because app-text/dvipdfm is not installed! To fix this issue the only thing that needs to be done is adding app-text/dvipdfm to the kdegraphics dependecy. Hope this may help you. bye fox Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
dvipdfm is included to the teTeX distribution since >=app-text/tetex-2. I'm not sure wether we can write something like DEPEND="|| ( >=virtual/tetex-2 app-text/dvipdfm )" (virtual package with version number) but we should write so if possible. As far as I know it wasn't possible (Bug #5121) but not sure the current status of it (#5121 was closed a while ago). If it's not possible, we might create virtual/dvipdfm, which will be provided by app-text/dvipdfm, app-text/dvipdfmx and virtual/tetex-2.
well, one could argue, that if you don't have tetex installed, you have little use for kdvi something like use tetex || export DO_NOT_COMPILE="kdvi" YMMV best regards Thilo
>dvipdfm is included to the teTeX distribution since >=app-text/tetex-2 Then these ebuilds should block each other, text-markup folks. :)
Alright. I fixed tetex and dvipdfm. (wasn't able to use virtual/tetex-2 so I blocked tetex-2, ptex and cstetex individually)
Thanks Mamoru, that was fast. I assume the reason you couldn't use virtual/tetex-2 doesn't affect the needed dependency for the kdegraphics ebuild?
No, it doesn't. However, if you enable export2pdf function for kdvi, you need to write something like RDEPEND="|| ( >=app-text/tetex-2 app-text/ptex app-text/cstetex app-text/dvipdfm )" to get /usr/bin/dvipdfm.
Thanks Mamoru! I don't touch this. It's Caleb's stuff, I just made a meta bug for him. (Bug 52994)
fixed in 3.3.0 per comment #6.
I would like to inquire about the status of this bug. I have just synced today and now emerge -upvD world wants to install all sorts of stuff to my system which I don't want including cstetex, dvipdfm and tetex-1.0.7-r13. I already have app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r3 installed in my system, confirmed by emerge -pv tetex. I don't want to downgrade to tetex 1. This all seems to be coming from the altered deps in kdegraphics-3.3.0. I found this bug through the changelog. I am using amd64 build of Gentoo, and use latex a lot on my system without problems until now. I fixed it for now by changing the tetex line to, tetex? || ( >=app-text/tetex-2 ) Now everything behaves as expected again. May be someone needs to take another look at the kdegraphics-3.3.0.ebuild?
just issue a fix that should help with this - please resync shortly and let me know if it works.
