#14363: gnome-libs 1.4.2_2 install failure --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: nihil84@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by nihil84@gmail.com): Replying to [comment:2 rhwood@macports.org]:
gnome-libs is part of the GNOME 1.x desktop, which has been superseded by GNOME2 some five years ago. Is there any reason you need the GNOME 1.x libs as opposed to the GNOME 2.x libs?
Actually I don't need it anymore but, at the time i wrote this ticket I need p5-gtk-perl for an old application and it has gnome-libs as dependency. However, if a package is no more compilable (because it is deprecated), why keeping it in tree? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14363#comment:3> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
