Description Thomas 2014-09-21 12:52:58 UTC

Since vlc-2.1.x is broken in an essential way (cf. Bug 523366) i would like to continue to use vlc 2.0.9.  However, this depends on <media-libs/freetype-2.5.3, which is not in the portage tree any longer.

vlc 2.0.9 can be forcibly compiled against media-libs/freetype-2.5.3 when either /usr/include/freetype2 is soft-linked to freetype or the respective #include statements are patched.  Of course, portage is quite unhappy with the installation, afterwards.
