Mokomakefile: gtk+/gtk+-fastscaling conflicts

[gcasse]

Could you please let the recipes of the gtk+ applications depend on gtk+-fastscaling instead?

Current issue:
I try to build the navit ipk, available in openembedded.
The recipe depends on gtk+ .

The opkg install fails, because it tries to install gtk+ whereas gtk+-fastscaling is already installed. The whole error messages are copied below.
A workaround is to use -nodeps:
opkg install -nodeps navit_0.0.4-r0_armv4t.ipk

The solution would be to add in a conf file:
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_gtk+ = "gtk+-fastscaling"

I added it manually in openmoko.conf without success, installing the new package return the same errors (it seems that the previous erroneous package depending on gtk+ was already stored in the opk cache, and opkg remove did not help to clean).

Thank you!

I removed gtk+-fastscaling from the latest builds because the OM theme no longer requires the hacks to get it working and I wanted to update to the latest gtk+ which has other speed improvements. I guess I forgot an RPROVIDES in the gtk+ recipe.

Doing an opkg update; opkg upgrade tonight, I get the same errors :

etc.

As this looked like some dev/building problem, it may have not been noticed... but looks like it happpens not only on dev side but will annoy users too.

I can verify this affects anyone (users) trying to

opkg update
opkg upgrade

or even install pkgs such as openmoko-mediaplayer2

with people of various skills levels just receiving their freerunner, it has high visibility on the project.

As of now (3/8/08) a fresk

opkg update

seems to fix this issue.
