Description Ioan Marius Curelariu 2007-11-28 12:23:55 UTC

Due to a check the nedit does on compile time, it does not compile against openmotif-2.3 because it is not in nedit's list of "known to work motifs".
For this issue I add a patch and ebuild to solve it.
Moreover, there is a problem motif-config, which also moves the libXm.so.2.x.x files out of /usr/lib... It should only move the files that are in conflict between versions, not all the files of a given version. Because of this, once you have a nedit compiled and running with openmotif-2.2, an slot install of the new 2.3 makes nedit not to start anymore, as it cannot find the libXm.so.2 anymore.
Third thing, suggested by Carlo on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=4383353#438335, is that the nedit ebuild should not depend on x11-libs/openmotif, but on virtual/motif


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install openmotif-2.2 + nedit
2.Install openmotif-2.3
3.Switch to openmotif-2.3 profile if it wasn't done automatically
4.1.Try to start nedit
4.2.Try to re-emerge nedit

Yeah, the idea is totally crazy, I'll try to check whether is slotting is needed at all. If it is, we need to slot things properly and not using the  motif-config thing which is broken by design (see Bug 117057 Comment #15).

Trying to get rid of x11-libs/lesstif altogether for reasons mentioned above, on Bug 117057 and elsewhere, so this really doesn't matter.
