[gentoo-desktop] Changes to the Kile ebuild

[Redcap]

Hi there,

I noticed recently that app-text/acroread has been added
as a runtime dependency to Kile. To be honest, I am not 
familiar with the intricacies fo writing Ebuilds, but I can't
see a good reason why Kile should depend on acroread, when
okular or some other PDF-viewer is available. Perhaps someone
can shed some light on this.

Cheers,

recap

The dependency in RDEPEND for kile-2.1.2-r1.ebuild reads:

30 	RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
31 		$(add_kdebase_dep kdebase-data)
32 		|| (
33 			$(add_kdebase_dep okular 'pdf?,postscript')
34 			app-text/acroread
35 		)

The || (...) means that Kile depends on either acroread, or okular
with USE=postscript and also USE=pdf if USE=pdf is set on kile.  Check
your USE flags on Okular if Portage is wanting to bring in acroread
instead.

Cheers,
Bryan

Hi Brian,

thanks for the help. I installed Okular again and now it has
USE=postscript set, therefore I was able to get rid off acroread.
Thanks again.

Cheers
