https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292308 Bug ID: 292308 Summary: audio/openal-soft: Optionally remove dependency on RTKIT/DBUS Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: multimedia@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jamie@catflap.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(multimedia@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: multimedia@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 266970 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=266970&action=edit git diff patch to add the option to disable dbus dependency OpenAL Soft uses RTKit (via D-Bus) to request real-time scheduling. However, RTKit is a Linux-specific daemon that interfaces with Linux-specific kernel features; it has no functional equivalent on FreeBSD. Consequently, the devel/dbus dependency provides no benefit to FreeBSD users and acts as a "zombie" dependency. This patch introduces an RTKIT option to the port: Default is ON: To maintain the status quo for official binary packages and avoid breaking existing expectations. Functionality: When disabled, it passes ALSOFT_RTKIT=OFF to CMake, which successfully prunes the link-time dependency on libdbus-1. Testing performed: Verified that libopenal.so no longer links to libdbus-1 when the option is OFF using ldd. Verified that the port still builds and functions correctly with the option ON. Confirmed that pre-existing make check-plist errors in this port are unrelated to these changes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
