Bug 481928 – net-misc/tigervnc[xorgmodule] does nothing with USE="-server"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Palimaka (kensington) 2013-08-21 11:46:28 UTC]

When USE="server" is not enabled, USE="xorgmodule" seems to do nothing. Maybe adding REQUIRED_USE would help?

[Comment 1 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2013-08-23 07:57:19 UTC]

Yeah, that's expected.

However using REQUIRED_USE i believe it doesn't help. The way to go would be: REQUIRED_USE="xorgmodule? ( server )", however xorgmodule is a default USE, so this would conflict.

Ideas?

[Comment 2 Michael Palimaka (kensington) 2013-08-25 15:44:00 UTC]

Is there a reason xorgmodule is enabled by default? The conflict could be avoided by dropping that.

The users wanted that the Xorg module of vnc be installed by default. The flag exists because it adds a depend on xorg-server.

Maybe i could simply drop the xorgmodule USE-flag. I understand that if anyone wants to use the xorg module knows he needs to use xorg-xserver...

I would kill xorgmodule USE flag and pull the dep under "server", that looks to be the one really needing to specify the concrete xorg-server versions
