I ma trying to go back to version 1.15 of xorg-server due to issues with the radeon driver using the latest software stack. However xorg-server-1.15.2-r4 requires >=media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r2[nptl=] and this mesa is not in the portage. The latest mesa from 10.x series is media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r1 Thus it will try to install version 11. Is this intended or is this a bug? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.look at xorg-server-1.15.2-r4.ebuild 2. media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r2 or higher not in portage 3. Actual Results: I would expect that media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r2 to be in portage.

Yes, mesa-11.x matches >=media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r2[nptl=], which reads 'any mesa version greater or equal than 10.3.7-r2 with nptl USE synchronized with nptl USE of xorg-server'. It's not limited to mesa-10.x only. However if you experience any problems with mesa-11.x please open a separate bugreport.
Yes indeed. Why not puting in e-build >=mesa-11? The fact that it refers to mesa-10*r2 (which does not exist ) is confusing. Also xorg-server 1.12 has the same dependecy. Here also mesa-11 will be picked. will this be a good combination? I have opened the ticket just to check that the dependency is indeed intended and is not a mistake. Regarding the opening of a bug for mesa, I will postpone it since I do not have time to collect the proper data. In the meantime I have switched to xorg-server-1.16.4 (not r5 since that depends again of mesa-10*r2). Best regards, Octavian
(In reply to Octavian from comment #5) > Yes indeed. Why not puting in e-build >=mesa-11? Probably because mesa-11.x wasn't even released when xorg-server-1.15.2-r4 ebuild was added to the tree. > The fact that it refers to mesa-10*r2 (which does not exist ) is confusing. This may be confusing to you, but such version specifications are actually sane. Imagine that when a new version of a library is released Gentoo developers would have to retroactively change all ebuilds that depend on this library to include the new version. This is much work for nothing. > Also xorg-server 1.12 has the same dependecy. Here also mesa-11 will be > picked. will this be a good combination? This is _expected_ to be a good combination. If you have any actual problems with particular version combinations you should report them. Otherwise don't worry about it too much. > I have opened the ticket just to check that the dependency is indeed > intended and is not a mistake. That's fine. If you wish to learn more about how dependencies are specified here's the link: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/

This is much work for nothing. It's OK. This part I knew it. But my question was: why not using *r1 instead of *r2 in the dependency? Then portage could resolve between two very different mesa versions mesa-10*r1 and mesa-11 depending on the other packages. Now it can only pick 11. And for sure 1.16 can work with both versions. Looking again at the ebuild I think it starts making more sense, All LATEST xorg-server versions from each serie 1.15/1.16/1.7 are made to build with the latest mesa/eselect-opengl. Previous version (not latest) can work with previous mesa. My (wrong) assumption was that going back to latest from older versions (e.g. 1.15.2-r4) would be able to pick also a previous mesa version. Thank you for you time, Octavian
We keep a few older xorg-server versions in the tree because some proprietary drivers don't receive updates to support new xorg-server. There is no need to use older mesa for that purpose. Changes in eselect-opengl required that xorg-server and mesa also be updated, and thus nobody bothered to update old mesa ebuilds. For now, you can still use xorg-server-1.15.2-r2 with older mesa. Also note that we don't recommend older xorg-server, and invest only minimal effort in this. If you find that it works for you, fine. If not, you are probably out of luck.
