the last release of kopete only builds against oRTP-0.7.1 (which is quite old). currently, newer versions of oRTP are masked so that kopete will still build, but holding back newer versions of a library for one application is not the way to go. please make kopete build a local copy of oRTP-0.7.1 and then statically link against it so that it stops holding back other packages.
this is holding up other packages so i've unmasked it
that's nice to unmask it. however, when updating, I get the latest version of ortp. and when I revdep-rebuild to check for broken libs etc, I sees kopete as broken against ortp, and compile both old ortp and current kopete... hasn't upstream commited a new kopete version that works with current ortp ? can't you, as suggested, make kopete build with ortp statically ?
i dont use/know/care about kopete. feel free to post an ebuild that does as suggested so someone from kde can merge it. the tree has had plenty of time to adjust to the situation (and in fact, everything has but kopete). masking anything but ancient versions of ortp isnt the way to go.
This bug is concerning kopete-3* and kdenetwork. More exactly : kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.9 with +jingle kde-base/kopete-3.5.9 with +jingle kde-base/kopete-3.5.10 with +jingle As they can't use >ortp-0.7.1, we can't stabilize ortp-0.13.1 which is needed by kopete-4* and linphone (but using the local one atm). I see three solutions: 1. removing jingle support and then, ortp dependency 2. using local ortp if possible 3. removing these packages What is the opinion of the kde team ?
Removing a jingle support from kde3 packages? I care only for kde4 but others might disagree so lets wait for them. If nobody else react here (from kde team) in lets say 10 days, just mask the flag/remove it...

I agree with Thomas. Drop the jingle support for KDE3 packages.
So the two answers were about removing jingle support. Can I do it myself or a KDE team member will do it ?
# Mounir Lamouri <volkmar@gentoo.org> (21 Apr 2009) # masking jingle because it's using an old ortp version # which is blocking stabilization of new ones, bug 206047 =kde-base/kdenetwork-3* jingle =kde-base/kopete-3* jingle
thanks !
