When I try to emerge fluxbox on a new install, installation fails on installing
fontconfig. Portage can not find a required patch file.
/usr/portage/media-libs/fontconfig/files/patch/fontconfig-2.1-cvs-update-20021221.patch
As this is a dependency for X, that highly limits the usefulness of this box in
its intended purpose.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge fluxbox
Actual Results:
helpdesk2 root # emerge fluxbox

dunno where that patch went, i thought everything 2.1 related got ressurrected.
Use the ~mips version of fontconfig.
mips peepz, please mark a newer fontconfig stable, 2.1 is ancient
