Description Peter E. Popovich 2004-02-25 00:52:32 UTC
Description of problem:
it's possible to build gd-2.0.15-1 without XFree86 dependencies, and
it's not clear that building it with XFree dependencies produces a
better gd.

How reproducible:
Always

Actual Results:
#kani:i686# rpm -q gd
gd-2.0.15-1
#kani:i686# rpm -q --requires gd
[edited for brevity]
libX11.so.6  
libXpm.so.4  
[edited for brevity]
#kani:i686# rpm -q --whatprovides libX11.so.6 libXpm.so.4
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-55
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-55

Additional info:
if i'm missing some improvement on gd that XFree86-libs makes, or it's
just unfeasible to build gd in a production environment without the
dependency, s'cool. just seemed really odd to me.

Good question, i'll be looking into it, but it's fairly low priority atm.

Read ya, Phil

Comment 2 Phil Knirsch 2004-04-21 12:37:13 UTC
The problem is that gd is being compiled with the xpm feature enabled,
so Xpm is required for it which unfortunately is part of the
XFree86-libs package, so there is not really a lot i can do about it.

Read ya, Phil
