nmap

Hi,

With nmap being a text tool, why does it want to emerge the following:

[ebuild N ] dev-libs/popt-1.6.3 to /
[ebuild N ] dev-util/intltool-0.22 to /
[ebuild N ] x11-base/opengl-update-1.3 to /
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r12 to /
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r8 to /
[ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nmap-2.54_beta36 to /

I've set USE="-x" in /etc/make.conf

Yeah I'm not sure who does that ebuild, but they should take out nmapfe and make it a seperate ebuild to lessen confusion on new gentoo users not familiar with USE="" variables.

same thing goes for bitchx and links

both have references to XFree-4.2 and bitchx also has reference to GTK+ ...

Yah, but with links, you should definatly use the graphics stuff, unless you are doing a quickie to have something to do after the first reboot....

Try links -g http://www.gentoo.org

It is my opinion that these types of ebuilds should be seperated into two categorys.

Something Like:

Hi,

Tried the following

alexgentoo root # export use="-X"
alexgentoo root # emerge --pretend nmap

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/popt-1.6.3 to /
[ebuild N ] dev-util/intltool-0.22 to /
[ebuild N ] x11-base/opengl-update-1.3 to /
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r12 to /
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r8 to /
[ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nmap-2.54_beta36 to /

alexgentoo root #

Where would I check in the ebuild file if the thing actually checks for the -X parameter?

Gtk depends on xfree is why your still getting xfree in the dependencies.

Lol that would also work klieber, but I would still like to see the ebuilds on some applications seperated.

Maybe when I get a little more proficient in ebuild creation I will submit a few of my own, as it stands now I just create personal ebuilds of applications not in portage to keep my system clean of normal source installs.

Ok so your right, didn't look at like that.

I'd recommend to anyone: run emerge -pv (--pretend --verbose) before you actually emerge anything. A lot of people don't seam to be aware of these options :cry:
