#20048: baobab: delete outdated port superceded by port gnome-utils
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: devans@… | Owner: raimue@…
Type: defect | Status: assigned
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: gnome-utils | Port: baobab
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Comment(by devans@…):
In that case, perhaps also print a message that this port is not necessary
if it detects that gnome-utils is
already installed. Maybe an explanation in the port description and/or
rename port (baobab-standalone ?) to make the situation clearer.
My concern is the possibility of future tickets complaining that baobab
and gnome-utils conflict with each other and the possibility/probability
that this old source will fail to build against future versions of
GNOME. Builds ok now although the current direction of GNOME development
in unstable 2.27 is the removal of
any dependencies on deprecated functionality which this port may depend
upon.
Or since this port's source is not being updated now perhaps a private
port would serve your personal needs?
