Missing gnome-mime-data dependency in the gnome-vfs module for GNOME 2.12
Last modified: 2005-08-16 15:52:42 UTC
Please describe the problem: There is a missing dependency (gnome-mime-data) for the gnome-vfs module in the moduleset for GNOME-2.12. I had to manually add the entry into gnome-2.12 moduleset in order to get gnome-vfs to compile. Steps to reproduce: 1. make a clean checkout of jhbuild from cvs 2. compile meta-gnome-desktop Actual results: gnome-vfs fails to compile because of a missing dependency Expected results: gnome-vfs should compile without complaining about missing dependencies at configure Does this happen every time? yes. Other information: let me know if a patch is need. I can make a diff and attach it here since i've already added the module into "gnome-2.12.modules" in order to make gnome-vfs happy.

Sorry for the delay Bastien told me gnome-mime-data was not needed anymore. Bastien?
gnome-vfs shouldn't be using gnome-mime-data anymore. However, this is more of a question for the gnome-vfs maintainers than for me.
Adding gnome-vfs-maint to the cc list then...
I looked a bit at the code, and it seems that gnome-vfs still needs gnome-vfs.applications that comes from gnome-mime-data. *sigh*
Actually, this code (gnome-vfs-application-registry.c) is deprecated.
Deprecated does not mean gone. Vincent: could you add the dependency back in jhbuild? Merging gnome-vfs.applications into gnome-vfs is probably not the right solution here, since it was split out specifically so that it could be shared between gnome-vfs-1.x and gnome-vfs-2.x -- merging it back in would make packagers' jobs more difficult (of course, this particular problem is becoming less and less important as time goes on).
Done. Closing the bug.
