The latest Glest ebuild refuses to build with xerces-c-3 and above. This results in a blocking upgrade with games-puzzle/enigma-1.01, which requires version 3 or higher.

Yes, you'll have to pick one game or the other.
That's not going to work when I pull <dev-libs/xerces-c-3 from the tree. Anything older than 3.0 has a security vulnerability, so they are going to go away.
That's a different issue. There's no "bug" here.
So - should I report this upstream then? Or how do I proceed? I don't even know the cause for the glest ebuild to require <xerces-c-3 - there is neither a comment in the ebuild nor a respective instruction on the glest website.
If it's essential for you to run glest, you're stuck with the old version of xerces-c. I imagine though that you'll probably prioritize the rest of your system and choose to uninstall glest.

So, the glest devs should port glest to use the new API.
