[gentoo-user] xsm and dependency...

[pk]

Hi!

After a "emerge --sync" a while ago a couple of new packages has
appeared on the "emerge radar", namely:

x11-apps/xsm-1.0.1 & net-misc/netkit-rsh

Does anyone know why they have appeared? I don't have them installed
previously and I am quite skeptical about "netkit-rsh" since it installs
rexec, rlogin and rsh.

TIA

Best regards

Me too, since it installs them setuid root.

emerge --update --deep --tree world will tell you why.

hmm, they come from xorg-server-1.1.1-r1:

[nomerge      ]  x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1
[nomerge      ]   x11-apps/xinit-1.0.2-r6
[ebuild  N    ]    x11-apps/xsm-1.0.1  USE="-debug -xprint"
[ebuild  N    ]     net-misc/netkit-rsh-0.17-r7  USE="pam"

but why? xorg-server doesn't list xsm anywhere in it's ebuild:

$ grep -i
xsm /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1.ebuild
iain@orpheus ~ $

and netkit-rsh is a hardwired (eg. not dependant on use flag) dependency
of xsm...

so why is xsm being pulled in when xorg-server hasn't been updated??

It'll tell you what wants them, but not why. In particular, it 
doesn't specify why xinit-1.0.2-r6, which didn't need xsm on September 
22nd, now does.

What's up with this? I really don't want netkit-rsh installed either...xsm 
changelog says nothing...

You want to be looking at xinit's info; turns out you want the "minimal" 
USE flag if you don't want to include the things used by the default 
Xsession, which includes xsm (which has, as far as I can tell, always used 
netkit-rsh).

Thanks, and sorry for the hysteria. I have rebuilt xinit with minimal and 
netkit-rsh is no longer a deep dependency.  I am very unsure what is strictly 
required with the modular Xorg.

Thank you for raising this - I've also now rebuilt it with the minimal flag 
and removed netkit-rsh and xsm.

I thought I did that, but I must have missed the xinit dependency and
it's related minimal USE flag. Guess I was too tired...

Thanks for the input!
