Friends, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Michał has documented the shortcomings of dynamic deps in our wiki[0]. |
| 7 |
(Thank you!) This documentation also includes two of our possible |
| 8 |
solutions. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1. Improve dynamic-deps. This is, as Michał pointed out earlier in |
| 11 |
this thread a pipe dream. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2. Remove dynamic-deps. This is what I think currently makes sense. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
3. This is undocumented in the Wiki, but it is certainly an option: do |
| 16 |
nothing. It is of course the worst option; but it is perhaps the most |
| 17 |
probably course of action as well... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
dynamic-deps do not work, and nobody is stepping up to fix them. PMS |
| 21 |
defines a static dependency model, and this is what other package |
| 22 |
managers use as far as I know. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Julian, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
would you like to share your experiences with Paludis? My guess is |
| 28 |
that Paludis is more predictable in this respect. I.e., instead of |
| 29 |
breaking stuff, I expect Paludis to simply give up. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Sebastian, |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I CC'd you because I would love to hear your opinion on this. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Trofi, |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
please share your opinion too! |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
To sum up: My vote is disable dynamic-deps. And I would be happy to |
| 44 |
apply a patch that does this with the information I have today. |
