Hello, I'm using Xorg-server-1.7 which required at least =x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.99.3. This new version of xextproto provides X11/extensions/xtestconst.h instead of X11/extensions/XTest.h, which is required by dev-java/swt to build! A simple patch can fix the compile failure, but this patch should be applied conditionally whether a new version of xextproto is installed or not. ;) Thank you very much!

Basically if built against the latest xextproto it should still work against older X packages. Probably the easiest option is to just require a new xextproto and always patch. x11: please give your opinion.
1) the new headers are still p.masked until we do further testing 2) while the headers have shifted around, the overall API and ABI is (to the best of my knowledge) unchanged I think that for this particular case, conditional patches should be ok. But the issue can be solved with such patches [1] Thanks [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=0a4c4c5fe8ebad2dd13f5770bd90a194eebb2890
Looks like X11/extensions/XTest.h is now provided by libXtst and swt builds fine with it. Thus no patching needed, libXtst was already in RDEPEND, moved it also to DEPEND. The xextproto dependency also stays, so it will work with both old and new xorg.
