evas: fix dependencies

[hdante@…]

Obviously, evas doesn't need gtk, so what can we do about it ? Maybe we could track the direct requirements so that we don't need to put such an overkill placeholder on the dependencies.

The tone of your request is strange to me. You make it sound like evas' gtk2 dependency is there due to some malicious intent.

I don't know anything about the evas software, so nothing about it is "obvious" to me. I just took over the portfile at some point and keep the software updated.

Reviewing the log, I see I added the gtk2 dependency in r68699 because it seemed to me at the time that evas was using gtk2. It appears that the current version of evas is not using gtk2. Perhaps I was mistaken in my original evaluation. I have now removed the dependency in r73985.

Like I said, we could track the direct requirements for the package, indirectly pulled by gtk. I bet you just broke the package simply by removing the dependency on gtk. The (real) expected requirements, are, at most the ones described in the site:

​http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=download&l=en

• Note: pkg is clearly missing from the list, it's also needed.

Retrieving the original package and reading the README file, we can see the list is simpler:

Must:

• libc
• libm
• eina (1.0.0 or better)
• freetype (2.1.9 or better)

Recommended:

• libX11
• libXext
• libXrender
• fontconfig
• libpng
• libjpeg
• eet (1.4.0 or better)
• libpthread

Optional:

• XCB
• SDL
• OpenGL
• Qtopia
• librsvg
• libtiff
• libgif
• edb
• DirectFB

BTW, I don't care how the request sounds to you. The dependency is incorrect.

Replying to hdante@…:

Thanks for helping me understand what the dependencies should be. I'll see if I can figure out what changes I should make to the port as a result, or if you'd like to do so and attach a patch, I can take a look at it.
