e-wm-menu problem

e-wm-menu problem

[Koen Kooi]

Hi,

Lately I've notice a problem when building and installing e-wm: it drags 
in e-menu-shr. It's due to (improper) usage of RPROVIDES + RCONFLICTS.

My proposal is that images should choose which applications.menu they 
are using (the one from gnome-desktop, e-wm, e-menu-shr-etc) and have 
e-wm stop RRECOMMENDING it.

The basic patch looks like this:

--- a/recipes/e17/e-wm_svn.bb
+++ b/recipes/e17/e-wm_svn.bb
@@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ DEPENDS = "eet evas ecore edje efreet edbus"
-PR = "r7"
+PR = "r8"

@@ -90,7 +90,6 @@ RRECOMMENDS_${PN} = "\
-  ${PN}-menu \

--- a/recipes/shr/e-wm-menu-shr_git.bb
+++ b/recipes/shr/e-wm-menu-shr_git.bb
@@ -2,8 +2,8 @@ DESCRIPTION = "illume SHR applications.menu config"

+PR = "r1"

-RPROVIDES_${PN} = "e-wm-menu"

And then a + <menu of choice> in your tasks and/or images.

What do you think about it?

regards,

Koen

I think we should not remove it but rather move this to an RSUGGESTS, so
that we have at least a small connection left in the package that
suggests(sic!) that this package is supposed to work best if it has an
accompanying package that provides the menu config.

:M:

That sounds OK, though I don't quite understand what the problem is with
using Recommends: here.  If opkg is installing e-menu-shr due to the
recommendation even though another satisfier is already installed,
that's a bug in opkg and ought really to be fixed there.  It would be a
little bit sad if we had to stop using Recommends altogether just
because opkg gets it wrong sometimes.
