Updating GDB requires boost? #5402

Closed StarWolf3000 closed 5 years ago

StarWolf3000 commented 5 years ago

For some reason, updating gdb will also install source-highlight package, which itself depends on boost package.

I want to update gdb to 8.3-2, but pacman wants to install source-highlight and boost too, which is totally unnecessary and was never required before.

oscarfv commented 5 years ago

That's an optional feature in 8.3 that the maintainer decided to enable. From https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/download/ANNOUNCEMENT :

*   GDB now supports terminal styling for the CLI and TUI.
    Source highlighting is also supported by building GDB with GNU
    Highlight.
StarWolf3000 commented 5 years ago

@Alexpux Why did you decide to enable the source highlighting feature in the latest gdb build?

Alexpux commented 5 years ago

@StarWolf3000 it was added as dependency after gdb build with it and fail to run. So if it really no need then create pull request

StarWolf3000 commented 5 years ago

So the build will succeed, but gdb crashes, if you disable it in configure script call?

oscarfv commented 5 years ago

@StarWolf3000 : AFAIU Alexpux is saying that the build was configured for using that feature and later it was noted that gdb wont run without the binaries of Highlight and its dependencies (boost).

If you want to remove the dependence on boost (and, by implication, switching off the feature Highlight provides) please expose your arguments for doing so.

StarWolf3000 commented 5 years ago

@oscarfv Do you realize how many files the boost package contains? Its the whole library used for developing programs to utilize boost, not just some required runtime binaries.

The /lib and /include directories contain around 350 MiB together, while the actual required dlls sitting in /bin require about 15 MiB.

oscarfv commented 5 years ago

@StarWolf3000 : please note that I'm not arguing for or against anything. I'm just explaining how things work.

As Alexpux said, do a PR that disables Highlight.
