Why recent k3b package require so old transcode package. Generaly there is much more recent version in portage. I was able to find a informations about problems with 0.6.12 but what about latest version (0.6.14) ?

Comment 1 Marcin Kurek 2004-12-31 06:34:19 UTC
I think there is a realy good idea to add a local flag for k3b to do not require so old transcode.

I personaly use transcode package not in k3b and I realy need recent version. But now every emerge --update try to install older version of transcode without any good reason. This is realy frustrating.

I have set -encode in my portage.use for k3b to solve the issue temporarly, but indeed this should be fixed. Quite annoying. Luckily I don't use the encoding part of k3b.
Comment 3 bravecobra 2005-01-06 17:21:07 UTC
not portage.use , but package.use of course as in /etc/portage/package.use

I don't know, why it was masked to a special version.  I tried it with any version of transcode.  So I removed the version-string.

Lars: I don't know why the bug was assigned to youz, but you can read in Bug 54159 about it. Please revert.
Comment 6 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-11 07:10:18 UTC
Probably it has been assigned to me, as I take care for the cd-recording tools.

So, it's not only an amd64-issue.  ppc also relies on ggc-3.4 as the default compiler.  Seems we have to include more arches to the transcode list.
Comment 7 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-11 07:33:54 UTC
Lars, regarding maintenance have a look at metadata.xml. You're expected not to touch other herds/developers ebuilds or to ask before, if you think you need to. amd64 is excluded, because the relevant transcode version is not keyworded for this arch.
Comment 8 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-11 10:03:04 UTC
Well, I know metadata.xml.  And I'm the last who will herd a bug.

You can revert the changes, but expect a bug from ppc about this transcode-foo.

Eh, you break stuff and I'm good enough to fix it!?!
