-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Allo all,
Since installing mythtv on my desktop I have come across a possibly fairly major defect with portage. The mythtv ebuild depends on, among other things, QT (should also depend on mysql, but that's another matter). If the ebuild did depend on mysql *before* QT on a system without QT already installed I believe there would be no problem. My desktop already had QT installed, and no mysql. So QT didn't have mysql support, which mythbackend and some of the other tools it seems require. I imagine some of you are now seeing the problem. Obviously QT needs to have mysql installed before it's built to enable it's support, simply adding a dependancy to mysql before QT (in mythtv for example) will have no effect on QT if it's already installed. The current state of dependancies, as I understand them, have no way to know the USE flag settings those dependancies were built with. For those developers/gurus among us, is this even a remote possibility?
