I'm a user of a KISS wm, which does not provide Windows™-like menus, |
| 2 |
desktop icons, etc. GUI software is called just by typing the binary |
| 3 |
name in PATH, just like any other software. For me the desktop-files are |
| 4 |
some kind of useless junk. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Recently a lot of software were made harddep on |
| 7 |
dev-util/desktop-file-utils, i.e. from now on there are not only junk |
| 8 |
text files, but also a junk software required without any reason. I've |
| 9 |
added it to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided and everything |
| 10 |
compiles and works just fine. It means that in reality there is no real |
| 11 |
need in this software. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Please make these dependencies optional. |

Reproducible: Always |

|
| 17 |
Steps to Reproduce: |
| 18 |
1. echo dev-util/desktop-file-utils-0.22 |
| 19 |
>> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided |
| 20 |
2. emerge -C dev-util/desktop-file-utils |
| 21 |
3. emerge -1 `equery d dev-util/desktop-file-utils | awk '{print $1}' | |
| 22 |
sed s/^/=/g` |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Actual Results: |
| 25 |
No crashes or any kind of problems |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Expected Results: |
| 28 |
Build crash due to lack of hard dependency |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
To be more specific, here is all the software on my system, that |
| 31 |
depends on dev-util/desktop-file-utils, but compiles and works just |
| 32 |
fine without it: $ equery d dev-util/desktop-file-utils |
