While marking inkscape for hppa, I found: Line 37: boost? ( >=dev-libs/boost ) What version did you want to specify? It certainly does not build with dev-libs/boost-1.31.0 on an x86 that happened to have this orphaned boost version installed. :) Please make sure to add this new boost use flag to gentoo-x86/profiles/use.local.desc as well. It's missing now and repoman's complaining about it. :)
Also, there is no jabber use flag from inkscape-0.43-r1 - when copied to 0.44, works fine for me.
according to other bug reports, jabber use flag has been removed because it is not really stable yet and under active development by a SoC student. Prolly coming back in 0.45
Created attachment 90530 [details, diff] patch for inkscape-0.44-ebuild ok. the new version of the inkscape-0.44 ebuild (which soon will also be the inkscape-0.44.1 ebuild) by patching with the attached patch. It fixes the issue regarding the boost lib version and includes a new dependency on dev-perl/SVG to be able to import TXT files using one of the perl extension scripts.
oh, please test this patch!
Fixed by mr_bones a good while back.
