This package is conditional on the "xprint" USE flag in x11-base/xorg-server which is OFF in emerge --info. I recenly installed 64 bit firefox (thought I'd give it another go, not working so hot that that's another rant) which includes www-client/mozilla-launcher which has a hard dependency on x11-apps/xdpyinfo. x11-apps/xdpyinfo has a hard dependency on x11-proto/printproto despite the code being conditional on xprint via the config HAVE_X11_EXTENSIONS_PRINT_H, which will always be true since the ebuild pulls it in. Now I think there is a bug in the x11-apps/xdpyinfo ebuild. I changed xdpyinfo-1.0.1.ebuild 34c34 < xprint? ( x11-proto/printproto )" --- > x11-proto/printproto" # ebuild xdpyinfo-1.0.1.ebuild digest and tested it # xdpyinfo > ~/tmp/xdpyinfo-before # emerge -aC x11-proto/printproto # emerge -a1 x11-apps/xdpyinfo # xdpyinfo > ~/tmp/xdpyinfo-after # diff ~/tmp/xdpyinfo-before ~/tmp/xdpyinfo-after 54d53 < print screen: no The compile was clean, the baseline/regression test (rudimentary) worked well. So my question is: is this enough to submit as a bug/feature request? I ask because I've submitted quite a few bugs and gotten unpolite responses on occassion, left out obvious information, and generally looked like the dumb user I'm tring not to be. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
