Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2013-04-27 08:38:35 UTC
can you run some test stage builds with this change:
-RDEPEND="|| ( sys-apps/man
-        sys-apps/man-db )"
+RDEPEND="|| ( sys-apps/man-db sys-apps/man )"

and make sure everything works out ?

Just built stage1-2-3 on amd64 with this change. No problems found.
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-12-21 22:08:45 UTC
Anything blocking this? :)
Comment 3 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2013-12-22 01:21:16 UTC
Given Matt's testing, I'd say nothing.

Comment 5 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2013-12-23 15:31:38 UTC
When changes like this are done without a revbump, binpkgs never pick up the change, which means the official catalyst autobuilds won't pick up the change.

Please revbump on changes to deps.

Do you need it for this concrete case then? In that case, I would commit it directly to stable, the change shouldn't break anything for stable users :/

This is how binpkgs work in gentoo.  If you want this change to matter please revbump.

Thanks.  Just for reference it is for ALL binpkg users, not just catalyst.  binpkgs contain their deps at the time of build, changing after the fact can cause horrific breakages and impossible dep calculation (although in this case the breakage is just pulling the wrong default)
