Bug 507196 – kde-misc/emerging-plasmoid should depend on dev-lang/perl dev-perl/DateManip for getcurrent script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Leonardo 2014-04-09 04:33:11 UTC]

emerging-plasmoid uses a modified version of genlop as its source of information and thus relies on perl and DateManip. Current emering-plasmoid ebuild doesn't depend on them so it crashes if they are non-existent.

Please add
>=dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12
>=dev-perl/DateManip-5.40
to the DEPEND variable in the ebuild (same as genlop)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge emerging-plasmoid without having perl or DateManip
2. Put it on your desktop
Actual Results:  
Plasmoid crashes after a few seconds

Expected Results:  
Plasmoid doesn't crash

You might as well depend on app-portage/genlop. :)

Well, kind of. It doesn't depend on genlop being installed, getcurrent is a modified version of it. Not sure if depending on genlop is the way to go :)


I admit that changing genlop was not an elegant solution, I'll look into correctly extracting all the information emerging-plasmoid needs from genlop without changing it.
