Hi everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
As this is my first posting on this mailinglist, I would like to introduce |
4 |
myself shortly: I'm a computer engineer, system and network administrator |
5 |
and general linux geek from Germany, working in Stuttgart in all these described |
6 |
fields. I'm using Linux sing 1997, used to use mainly debian, but recently |
7 |
switched several boxes (including my working box on my desk at job) to |
8 |
gentoo and becoming more and more fascinated of gentoo, especially the |
9 |
actuality of the software, the only part on debian which I think is not so |
10 |
good. A couple of days ago my first ebuild (cdtool) has been added to gentoo |
11 |
and now I'm writing on the next one, software which I used on debian, but |
12 |
where no ebuild currently exists. So I thought: "Let's take matters in |
13 |
my own hands" ;)) |
14 |
|
15 |
Currently I'm writing an ebuild for a software called offlineimap, a tool |
16 |
to synchronize local mail-directorys to an IMAP-Server written in Python. |
17 |
|
18 |
The general ebuild is working, but the tool has several gui's, including |
19 |
a curses gui and a tk gui. But it does not really depends on Tk or curses, |
20 |
because it has fallback to other gui's which do not need specific libraries. |
21 |
But I can not really "deconfigure" the tk-gui or the curses gui, so the |
22 |
use of USE variables seems not to be correctly. |
23 |
|
24 |
To file a dependency against Tk does not seems right, as the package does |
25 |
not really depend on Tk, it just looks nicer. And how I should make use |
26 |
of the USE variable I'm not sure. |
27 |
|
28 |
So I'm asking if someone can guide me how I should mark the "soft-dependencies" |
29 |
in the tool..... |

|
31 |
CU all, |
32 |
Jens |
