xmms-1.2.8-r2.ebuild requires "<gnome-base/gnome-panel-1.5.0" but it builds and works fine with gnome-panel-2.4.0 In fact: DEPEND="[...] gnome? ( gnome-base/gnome-panel ) [...]" is enough.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Nope. Invalid. xmms needs gnome-panel < 1.5 to build the Gnome Panel Applet. Not for xmms in itself, but for its panel applet (That small thing that controls xmms and lives in the panel) This is because xmms is a gtk 1.2 program, so It can't build a gtk 2.x panel applet.
