Now that bug 138739 has been closed and the mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1.ebuild checks for the use of X, the libsdl dependency requirement should be relaxed. Instead of RDEPEND=" <media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11 the mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1.ebuild should use RDEPEND=" media-libs/libsdl This will prevent the constant upgrade / downgrade cycle between media-libs/libsdl-1.2.9-r1 and media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11
alright, done...
