It looks like seemant added virtual/gzip back in Nov 2003. Suprisingly, grepping the tree reveals 1 (as in ONE) ebuild that actually uses virtual/gzip. Following is a list of packages that either 1) need to have their apps-arch/gzip DEPEND changed to virtual/gzip, or 2) depend on gzip but do not have it all in any form in DEPEND. #2 brings up a question that has confused me for a while; if an ebuild depends on a package (in this case gzip), which is included as part of the base system, is it assumed to exist or should it be added to DEPEND? I'd be willing to fix most of these myself (provided everyone agrees, of course), but I'm still going through my probabtionary period. If everyone agrees, and if I do end up becoming a developer, then I'd be more than willing to fix whatever packages haven't been fixed by that time. So, enough hoopla... ebuilds that currently DEPEND on app-arch/gzip but should be changed to virtual/gzip: app-admin/aide app-admin/newsyslog app-admin/rkhunter app-arch/guitar app-arch/hdup app-arch/ppmd app-arch/tar app-cdr/cdlabelgen app-doc/daemontools-man app-doc/djbdns-man app-doc/gimp-user-manual app-emacs/tamago app-i18n/manpages-fr app-i18n/manpages-it app-i18n/skk-jisyo app-i18n/skk-jisyo-cdb dev-db/cdb dev-util/quilt mail-filter/amavisd-new media-sound/soundtracker net-analyzer/oinkmaster net-firewall/fwanalog sys-apps/miscfiles sys-libs/cracklib x11-themes/iceicons ebuilds that currently use gzip explicitly but do not have any kind of gzip in DEPEND: app-arch/unlzx app-benchmarks/siege app-doc/howto-text app-doc/phrack app-editors/ted app-emulation/uade app-i18n/ami app-misc/emelfm app-sci/modelsim app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets <=dev-lang/ccc-6.5.9.001-r2 dev-lang/cfal dev-lang/cxx dev-lang/gpc dev-lang/squeak-basicimage dev-lang/squeak-fullimage dev-libs/ace dev-libs/libcxml dev-lisp/cmucl-source dev-util/examiner dev-util/ladebug dev-util/xmingw-gcc games-fps/lsdldoom games-mud/tf games-strategy/liquidwar mail-client/mutt media-fonts/artwiz-fonts media-fonts/baekmuk-fonts media-fonts/efont-unicode media-fonts/intlfonts media-fonts/jisx0213-fonts media-gfx/feh media-gfx/xzgv media-libs/nas media-tv/xawdecode net-analyzer/arpwatch net-irc/ctrlproxy net-mail/getmail net-news/slrn sys-apps/kbd sys-apps/lkcdutils sys-apps/powerpc-utils sys-fs/mac-fdisk x11-base/xfree x11-base/xorg-x11 x11-libs/qwt Cheers -- They call them "squares" because it's the most complicated shape they can deal with. /* Aaron Walker * http://butsugenjitemple.org/~ka0ttic/ */ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
