Hi there
I haven't search the mailing list. Please forgive me if the discussion was
already started earlier by someone else.
After posting and closing the bug report:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135870
Jakub Moc noticed that the current >=virtual/x11-7.0 ebuild misses its task
and creates trouble.
For example: This ebuild behaves partly like a ordinary meta build and
installs imake. You need imake (more correctly xmfmk) to install tightvnc.
Unfortunately you are not forced to install at least virtual/x11-7.0-r1.
virtual/x11-7.0 causes trouble with tightvnc because of the missing
xmfmk tool.
For that reason I want to request the deletion of virtual/x11-7.0 and
that at least some dependencies of virtual/x11 are moved to
=>x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0 where these dependencies belong to IMHO. xorg-x11 is
a meta ebuild. virtual/x11 shouldn't be a second meta ebuild for the
Modular X.org because otherwise you would have two meta ebuilds that will
maybe cause more trouble in the future.
Thanks and best regards
@4u
