sh__ i wanted to take this out, but the hurry on the bugfix and all the changes made me forget it. no point in now releasing yet another relasee after all this business. i will update it for the next regular release, if that's ok. thanx for reminding me!

I think it should be a makedepend, since it comes with a sidebar plugin for konqueror, which is kdebase. I think KDE users would apreciate the existance of such a thing ;)

Why both amarok and amarok-mysqlfree requires python, ruby and sdl??? Aren't these optional dependencies?
Comment by Michal Hybner (dta) - Tuesday, 05 September 2006, 14:28 GMT
In a fact, I think that depends in Amarok are mess. Python is *not* needed for any basic function, it is only for some scripts. The main features are handled by ruby scripts (score, lyrics). Please, take a look at http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Requirements . It should be only menitoned via install script. Same for media devices support. If you have Amarok compiled with e.g. libgpod support it does not means it depends on it. You can use Amarok even without libgpod on your system. And now with mysql splitted, I vote for having one amarok-base package which depends on libmysqlclient (beside, now libmysqlclient is depend of kdebase, so most users will have it installed anyway), and if someone wants to use mysql database backend, then he will install whole mysql package. So I think that Amarok depends should be something like:
depends=('amarok-engine' 'kdelibs' 'libmp4v2' 'libmysqlclient' 'ruby' 'taglib' 'tunepimp')
makedepends=('kdebase' 'libgpod' 'libifp' 'libmtp' 'libnjb' 'libvisual' 'xine-lib')
and in install file messeges like "For Apple iPod support install 'libgpod' pakcage". Same for all lib*, python and mysql.

Very well said, Michal!
Waiting for devs to fix amarok... ;-)

you're absolutely right... i need to clean up amarok-base and burry amarok-base-mysqlfree

1.4.4-2 introduce makedepends instead of depends + modular mysql/postgreSQL makes mysqlfree pkg obsolete

Thanks Damir! :)
Comment by Damir Perisa (damir.perisa) - Saturday, 09 December 2006, 23:49 GMT
you're welcome - i should have done this earlier!

i have tested 1.4.4-2 with all makedepends removed but i will keep this bug opened just in case somebody runs across problems with new amarok-base.

Add postgresql-libs to depends.
Comment by Thorbjørn Lindeijer (bjorn) - Sunday, 07 January 2007, 10:31 GMT
Yeah, amarok doesn't want to launch when postgresql-libs package isn't installed.
Comment by Georg Grabler (STiAT) - Thursday, 25 January 2007, 16:42 GMT
libpqxx also seems to be a depend.
