This is entirely my fault. I'm a part of Beagle upstream, and had volunteered to proxy maintain it. I was the one who was supposed to contact Petteri R=E4ty (Betelguese) after he had volunteered to proxy maintain it (via a reply to dsd's email) several weeks ago. However, I ended up getting busy with other things, procrastinating this, and in the end majorly slacking in getting Beagle fixed (though I did update the ebuild on the gentoo bug occasionally) > Currently it seems that the package doesn't > build for everyone ( by having a quick look at #201093 ) and this is > something that any maintainer would have to rectify [1]. Beagle 0.3.3 itself compiles just fine, but yelp and nautilus don't compile with beagle support (beagle USE flag) because libbeagle got split from Beagle in 0.3, it's API changed, and the version number got bumped. Work is in progress to fix yelp with the new libbeagle, but no such progress has been made in nautilus. Probably the "beagle" USE flag in nautilus and yelp has to be made to depend on 0.2.18 since it doesn't work with >=3D0.3 All in all, I take complete blame for this mess. /me feels majorly guilty > [1] Sometimes I get the impression that users think that as long as a > package works for them, that it works. This sadly isn't the case. --=20 ~Nirbheek Chauhan -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
