I tried to emerge inkscape using x86. The newest stable ebuild in x86 branch requires a glib ebuild > 2.7. Currently there are only ebuilds for 2.6 and 2.8. Unfortunately all 2.8 ebuilds in portage are ~x86! This means users of stable x86 can't emerge inkscape right now (or have to manually merge a 2.8 ebuild which is marked unstable, which I will do right now :))
I fail to understand... john@linuxserver ~ $ sudo emerge -pve =media-gfx/inkscape-0.42.2 | grep glib [ebuild N ] dev-libs/glib-2.6.5 +doc +hardened -static 0 kB [ebuild N ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5-r2 -build -erandom -glibc-compat20 -glibc-omitfp +hardened -linuxthreads-tls (-multilib) +nls -nptl -nptlonly -pic -profile (-selinux) +userlocales 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-cpp/glibmm-2.6.1 -debug +doc 0 kB The glib you're referring to is dev-libs/glib, correct? Because there is no reference to dev-libs/glib in the InkScape 0.42.2 ebuild: john@linuxserver ~ $ grep "dev-libs/glib" /usr/portage/media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-0.42.2.ebuild | wc -l 0
glibmm is there. Looks like we should check better the inkscape deps and ask arch mantainers to bump {glib,gtk}{,mm} accordingly.
Luca already said it but heres what I get merging 0.42.2: # emerge inkscape -vp These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-libs/glib-2.7" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-libs/glib-2.8.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - dev-libs/glib-2.8.2 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. !!! (dependency required by "dev-cpp/glibmm-2.8.1" [ebuild])
emerge -vp glibmm gtkmm emerge info there is something wrong and isn't in our portage tree (checked right now)
Ok, I was partly wrong. I had glibmm and gtkmm marked for ~x86 in /etc/portage/package.keywords. If I remove them, I can merge inkscape, so sorry for this. Seems like I didn't remember that I moved my portage.keywords from my old laptop. Really sorry for this one.
