dependencies of alsa
« on: December 17, 2010, 04:14:20 AM »
Is there any other known requirement of bash for installing and running alsa, besides from running alsaconf which may not be required at all or only once?
Related, could alsa-config.tcz be removed as dep of alsa and perhaps be mentioned as optional in .info of alsa.tcz?

I remember the bash issue being brought up before once, and I forgot what the resolution was.  I will look at it again and see what has to be there. 

alsa-config.tcz has the alsasound script, which should not need bash.  I will see if I can place /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound in the alsa.tcz extension and make alsa-config.tcz and bash.tcz optional requirements.

ALsaconf along with it's deps are now in alsaconf.tcz.  It is an optional dep of alsa.tcz


The rest of alsa-config.tcz has been moved into the alsa.tcz extension as they are all needed by alsa.tcz and don't really need to be separate.

Hi,

On my netbook, i don't need alsaconfig and the sound works fine. Then bash is not needed to.
