Bug 344193 – media-sound/banshee: Replace USE=hal with USE=udev (using gio- and gudev-sharp)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maciej Piechotka 2010-11-04 20:04:21 UTC]

Banshee 1.8.0 ebuild contains following text:

# Hal is required until upstream bug 612616 is solved

However since *1.8.0* banshee can use IIRC udev banckend, HAL backend or disable this feature. Gnome git confirms it: http://git.gnome.org/browse/banshee/tree/configure.ac?id=1.8.0

It would be too easy if GTK_SHAPR_VERSION had something in common with version of gtk-sharp...

As mentioned in the changelog for the 1.8.0 ebuild, I'd like to wait till there are real releases of the upstream projects Banshee depends on before packaging. Going to leave this bug open to track progress of this anyway, and thank you for the ebuilds. We can review and add each one as upstream decides to make releases.

I don't know how github works w.r.t. creating tarballs for a given commit, but if it generates them on-the-fly, or caches for a short period, you will get Manifest failures after a while.

How to download those dependencies? I mean gio-sharp for example - I cannot find those file on web nor ebuild cannot find them too. I need something to access git hub?

Arun explained in comment #7 that github creates the tars on the demand so you need to access webpage to download file (apparently they cannot generate file on demand with this URL as permalink).

There's also some work in the tante overlay, just fyi: http://gitorious.org/tante_overlay

[Comment 12 Lukas Miczka 2011-01-31 21:49:47 UTC]

There's banshee-1.9.2 released

[Comment 13 Joost Ruis 2011-02-25 08:37:31 UTC]

Banshee 1.9.4 released
Can we get this in Portage so we can drop hal without having to drop banshee?
