Bug 359841 – x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.18 depends on too recent xorg-server

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Casey Jones 2011-03-21 21:26:33 UTC]

The ebuild for nvidia-drivers-270.18 has a dependency on a xorg-driver that is too new for it to support.  A last minute ABI change in xorg-server-1.10 causes this driver to fail.  I changed the xorg-server dependency to be < 1.9.903.  It was previously < 1.10.99.

I'm attaching a patch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. layman -a x11
2. emerge -uavDN world
3. xorg-server-1.10 will be pulled in by the emerge

Actual Results:  
xorg will not start due to incompatible ABI

Expected Results:  
nvidia-drivers-270.18 should not pull in xorg-server-1.10 from x11 overlay.

I should also include the announcement of the ABI change.

I misread the version number for rc3

Sorry, I misread the version number for 1.10 rc3.  It should be 1.9.99.903 instead of 1.9.903

xorg-server 1.10.0.901 is now in Portage.  nvidia-drivers-270.18 will not work if blob users update to the new xorg-server.
