Subject: [gentoo-dev] www-client/chromium icon theme dependencies, help needed
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:03:37
Message-Id: 4D67BFBF.3010104@gentoo.org
1 There is a bug about www-client/chromium icon theme dependencies
2 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352263), and I'm not quite sure
3 what's the best way to solve it.
4
5 The main issue is that in KDE only oxygen-icons work, and in XFCE
6 oxygen-icons *don't* work and one needs other icon themes installed
7 (which in turn don't work in XFCE).
8
9 Portage obviously doesn't know which DE the user is running (multiple
10 DE's may be installed on the system), so I don't see a way to create
11 "foolproof" dependencies.
12
13 The two approaches I'm thinking about are:
14
15 a) Drop any icon themes from RDEPEND, tell the user in pkg_postinst
16 about possible choices.
17
18 b) Add "kde" to IUSE, and then kde? ( kde-base/oxygen-icons ) !kde ( all
19 || the || rest ) to RDEPEND.
20
21 What do you think? Do you have some better ideas?
