Description Coacher 2016-03-07 06:15:36 UTC 
Hello.

Starting with 4.12 version i3 can perform all drawing operations via cairo instead of raw X11. cairo >= 1.14.4 is required for this. See [0].

Currently cairo is required only if pango USE is enabled and the current version req is >=1.12.2. This can lead to automagic x11-libs/cairo dependency, because cairo-enabled rendering and pango are independent features. See [1].

Cairo-enabled rendering should be either enforced via proper cairo version req or properly controlled via USE flag similarly to pango support.

Please fix.

IMHO cairo-enabled rendering should be enforced by depending on cairo>=1.14.4 since this feature won't be optional in future releases as outlined in release notes for 4.12.

Anybody know what's stopping new cairo from being stabilized? Can't find any relevant bugs.
