Description Gianluca Sforna 2010-09-08 14:04:23 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #443024 +++

The current publican SPEC file has a dependency on the kdesdk package for the
xml2pot and po2xml binaries.  This requires GNOME users to install the bulk of
the KDE system just to use Publican.  I have submitted a patch to create a
sub-package of kdesdk (443023).  The patch attached changes Publican to depend
on the new kdesdk-potools subpackage which means that GNOME user would only need
Publican, this new sub-package, and QT, to create documentation.

Created attachment 302851 [details]
Patch to SPEC file to depend on kdesdk-potools rather than kdesdk

--- Additional comment from rdieter.edu on 2008-04-18 08:20:15 EDT ---

In the meantime, instead of using
Requires: kdesdk
Consider using
Requires: %{_bindir}/xml2pot %{_bindir}/po2xml
instead (asap).

This should ensure things continue to work before and after any split is done 
in kdesdk (which should be coming soon, hopefully).

Changed requires and buildrequires to: %{_bindir}/xml2pot %{_bindir}/po2xml

--- Additional comment from petersen on 2008-06-24 23:31:07 EDT ---

I still see "Requires: kdesdk" in both devel and F-9.

It can be replaced by kdesdk-utils for both of them or the above if you prefer.

0.34, where this bug has been fixed, is still being baked.

--- Additional comment from stickster on 2008-07-13 11:35:29 EDT ---

This can be fixed in the current (F-8, F-9, devel) package CVS -- it's just a
specfile change and a new build and push.  It doesn't need to hang on 0.34 being
ready.  I'm happy to do it, if that helps.

publican-0.33-1.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9

--- Additional comment from jfearn on 2008-07-14 23:20:24 EDT ---

Vote 1: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/pending/publican-0.33-1.fc9

Also built in devel and F8. However as kdesdk-utils is not available in F8 I did
not push it as an update.

*** Bug 455412 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

publican-0.33-1.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2010-09-08 14:27:17 UTC

Uh, AFAIK, EL5 doesn't have the kdesdk-utils split (it was branched from FC6 and we made the split in F9) and is unlikely to get it.

Comment 2 Gianluca Sforna 2010-09-08 14:33:07 UTC

Doh. so I'm bound to install >100Mb worth of packages including qt, a sound server and other assorted stuff onto a headless server along with a publican, scary...

Comment 3 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2010-09-08 21:28:07 UTC

FWIW I wouldn't install the EPEL version, it is ancient and can't be updated in EPEL due to newer versions requiring updated RHEL5 packages.

In fact I will look in to the dead package process for EPEL4 and EPEL5 since this old version isn't being maintained and isn't compatible with the versions in Fedora or RHEL6.

Comment 4 Ruediger Landmann 2010-11-22 04:48:01 UTC

As Jeff said, Publican has been unmaintainable for EPEL4 and EPEL5 for a long time now, so we've finally retired it from those branches.

Sorry, Gianluca, but we can't fix this for you :(

Comment 5 Gianluca Sforna 2010-11-22 07:33:03 UTC

Unfortunate but that's ok. I hope there is some kind of plan to make publica available (and maintainable) in EPEL6 or RHEL6

Comment 6 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2010-11-22 07:48:24 UTC

Hi Gianluca publican 2.1 shipped on RHEL6, adventurous souls should be able to build from trunk since there haven't been any dep changes ... yet :)
