[Slackbuilds-users] Needing requirements built with options

2014-07-14 Thread Doogster
I'm about to submit a new version of gnome-inform7, and I've run into a problem. It requires gst1-plugins-bad, and it needs gst1-plugins-bad to have been built with libmodplug support. The problem is that gst1-plugins-bad lists libmodplug as an optional dependency, not as a hard one. How should I

If there are other situations meriting gst1-plugins-bad built against libmodplug, wouldn't it be worth it to make it a hard dependency? Does anyone really mind one extra package if it means better compatibility down the road? --- ryanpcmcquen.com On Jul 14, 2014, at 2:39 PM, King Beowulf

I would prefer that the only hard dependencies specified for gst1-plugins-bad be the ones that gst1-plugins-bad need in order to be built. If you start specifying optional dependencies as hard ones because unrelated packages need them, then you end up with a mess like Debian where installing Mutt

IMO, you should also list libmodplug as a dep in inform7's info file. List it first (or at least, before gst-plugins-bad). If people are installing the deps in the order listed in REQUIRES, it'll take care of itself (because gst-plugins-bad will auto-detect that libmodplug is installed,

I'm also leaning towards the README thing. If a tool works by building and then traversing a dependency tree data structure, then listing libmodplug first will not guarantee that it's built first. On Monday, July 14, 2014, David Spencer baildon.resea...@googlemail.com wrote: IMO, you should
