Description Oleh 2013-08-30 06:22:53 UTC 
mesa, when built with openvg USE flag creates /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/include/VG/ /usr/include/VG* symlinks, which not removed after rebuilding without openvg USE flag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE=openvg emerge media-libs/mesa
2. /usr/include/VG/* symlniks created
3. USE=-openvg emerge media-libs/mesa
4. /usr/include/VG/* broken symlinks remains

Most likely it is app-admin/eselect-mesa bug:
'eselect opengl set xorg-x11' does not remove broken symlinks or does it?
Comment 2 Oleh 2013-12-31 18:16:34 UTC 
it's hardly related to eselect, it simply ebuild that installs symlink if openvg USE used, and broken symlinks remains if mesa re-emerged with -openvg USE flag. IS this a eselect case? If so, it's misdesigned, imo

No, mesa ebuild does not install these symlinks (read /var/db/pkg/media-libs/mesa-*/CONTENTS), it only runs eselect 'eselect opengl set xorg-x11'

Patches are welcome.

No OpenVG support in Mesa anymore.
