[gentoo-dev] new virtual - xlocker?

The desktop-misc herd (which was sadly neglected until recently) could
benefit from a new virtual. x11-misc/xautolock is a wrapper which locks
the screen via any appropriate program such as xlockmore or xtrlock.
This program needs to depend on an xlocker, but we should not lock users
into one specific one.

See bug 95246 [1]

I would probably name it virtual/xlocker, but other suggestions are, of
course, welcome.

Thanks

xscreensaver locks the screen, too, besides its normal screensaver
features (like xlockmore).

You don't have to setup a virtual for this.  In fact, the simpler method
(especially when dealing with only one package) is to use the || *DEPEND
syntax.

RDEPEND="|| (
	x11-misc/xscreensaver
	x11-misc/xlockmore
	x11-misc/xtrlock )"

This would prefer xscreensaver over the others, but any would satisfy
the dependency.

Hi guys,

thanks for you to look of my reply on this bug :)

It don't think that a virtual need to be use here. 3 softwares for a
virtual is quite less.

Why are you placing a REDEPEND instead of a PDEPEND ?
xautolock *doesn't need* on of theses software to compile. It need one
of them to be usable. Is the side, it's a post depend.

PDEPEND is for something that is necessary, but can _only_ be compiled
after... RDEPEND is "run-time dependency"
