I could not wait. The attached patch work for me with portage.

I get an answer from genome, a retired dev:

The proper solution would be to add a configure switch for it that the ebuild/specfile/whatever can enable/disable, not trying to detect it automatically. This type of auto-detection is generally rather fragile and disliked by package maintainers. A switch is much more reliable and can be used by everyone.

I thing he has right because anyone and any package manager can use it, and also because it will be much less maintenance in the long run (due to the fragility of the test and the possible necessity/will to add other package managers)

In consequence, I will let the ebuild like it is in the wiki for now. It work with the 10645 svn revision, and this is fine for me. Thank you for the good work on amule.

I can take a look at this on Sunday. As every Distro now has new enough KDE, the helper apps shouldn't be needed anymore, so the test and detection of the two apps can be dropped at all.

Thank you,

I reversed the cjange into the ebuild as it is not needed anymore.

It look like the wiki Requirements page is a little but outdated. http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Requirements#Required  It is no mention of plasma.

Regarding the ebuild, it look like I put a wrong plasma dependencies, which can explain some problems with it: plasma ? kde-base/kdelibs
And this is for kde3.

Do you know which plasma package is needed by amule? On gentoo, I found the followings:

Code: [Select]

kdeplasma-addons
libplasmaclock
libplasmagenericshell
plasma-apps
plasma-runtime
plasma-workspace

[libre]

Oops, I am wrong. The kdelibs package exist for kde4 too. But it is no plasma use flag for it.

[Vollstrecker]

Intressting, as plasma came with kde4. kde3 can'thandle this. plasma-runtime should be enough (guessed by the name). MAybe the deps of plasma-apps or libplasmaclock give you a hint.

Due to a bad hard disk, I am on a new system. OK, no kde and portage tell me to install kdebase-meta or kdebase-startkde. Installing the second one.

Also, a problem with the ebuild. The plasma stuff need "inherit kde4-base" which in turn need EAPI="3". With that setting, emerge want to compile in some ../kde_build directory and it doesn't find it. Normal, amule is not a kde software. I added a src_compile() section into the ebuild and it work fine.

The wiki is updated. The joined file contain my current ebuild.
