bazaar (devel/bazaar 1.4.2) missing neon dependency

[rachel@…]

www/neon should be a dependency of bazaar; attempting to install bazaar if neon isn't already installed causes the build to fail, with missing file ne_uri.h.

Easy workaround is of course, port install neon bazaar; but the dependency probably wants to be fixed. :-)

(Observed on leopard but I believe it will apply elsewhere.)

neon is a dependency of bazaar, although it is an old-style dependency spec (and probably should be changed) that could be satisfied by a non-MacPorts copy of neon. Could that be what happened for you? Ccing maintainer.

I'm not sure what you mean, although by the looks of the error (which occurred during the actual compile) if there was a system neon it would indeed have used it.

But there isn't, in any stock version of OS X as far as I know.

I've not happened to identify it before because on Tiger neon has tended to have been brought in by something else that I've installed first. For instance, with a new Tiger install one of the first things I'd install would be subversion, and I think that brings in neon. Subversion is installed as standard in Leopard (at least after XCode is installed; I didn't think to look beforehand), as is Python 2.5 and a few other things, which meant that this time around bazaar was actually the first macports port I tried to install, hence exposing the issue.

What I meant was that neon is a dependency of bazaar:

port deps bazaar bazaar has library dependencies on:

neon gpgme

So if you don't have another copy somewhere (only because of the old style dependency), it should have been installed before bazaar was installed. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be.

I can confirm that running "port install bazaar" when neon is not installed does not install neon before attempting to build baz. Looks like a bug in base.

Changing depends_lib to use port:neon makes things behave as expected.

dependency fix/workaround

[markd@…]

That's odd. I confirmed that it worked for me. But it should be changed anyway so I committed that fix.
