[gentoo-dev] Why is dev-db/edb needed by imlib2?

[Peter Ruskin]

When I did an emerge world -Uuvp tonight it says:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] app-doc/doxygen-1.3.3 [1.3] +doc +qt
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/libdvbpsi-0.1.3 [0.1.2]
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/libdvdcss-1.2.8 [1.2.6]
[ebuild  N    ] dev-db/edb-1.0.3
[ebuild     UD] media-libs/imlib2-1.0.6-r1 [1.0.6.20030220-r1]
[ebuild     U ] media-video/vlc-0.6.2 [0.6.0] +arts +qt +ncurses +dvd 
+gtk +nls -3dfx +svga -fbcon +esd +kde +X -alsa +ggi +oggvorbis -gnome 
+xv +oss +sdl +aalib -slp +truetype -v4l +xvid -lirc -wxwindows +imlib 
+mozilla -dvb -debug +faad -xosd -matroska -altivec
[ebuild     U ] net-www/privoxy-3.0.2 [3.0.0]

Why would I need edb?  I did `qpkg -q edb` to see what depended on it
and didn't recognize anythomg in the output, so I tried adding edb to 
/etc/package.mask and reran `emerge world -Uuvp`; that refused to play 
and told me that dev-db/edb is needed by imlib2.

if you read the README that comes with imlib2:
<snip>
Imlib2 requires several libraries to be already installed. These are:

edb              ftp://ftp.enlightenment.org/pub/e/e17/libs/
libjpeg          http://www.ijg.org/
libpng           http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
freetype 1.2     http://www.freetype.org/
</snip>

that is why dev-db/edb is listed in the DEPEND ...
however, it seems that if that was true of older versions, it isnt of the 
current ones ... i looked through the source and couldnt find any 
references ...

i've removed edb from the DEPEND in 1.0.6 (it was already removed for 1.1.0)

Thanks Mike, I can unmerge it now with a clear conscience.

Yes, I noticed that - that's why I asked the question.

IIRC edb is the image collection format used in the E17 programs, so if you are running the e17 devel code, than whatever imlib2 your e17 code links into will need edb enabled.

from the enlightenment page:
This is a database library based on Berkeley DB 2.7.7 from http://
www.sleepycat.com. It is intended to make accessing database information 
portable, easy, fast and efficient.

if any e17 components need it, i have it listed in DEPEND, so thats not a 
problem
