When unmasking and emerging bootsplash-themes, the ebuild needs to check if splashutils is installed on systems where the 2.6.8-gentoo-* series kernels are installed. These themes can be converted by using the bootsplash2fbsplash in the splashutils ebuild Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge splashutils to support 2.6.8 kernels 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge bootsplash-themes 3. Actual Results: The current stable version of bootsplash was forcibly installed. Bootsplash cannot coexist with splashutils Expected Results: The themes should install without installing bootsplash only if splashutils is installed. Just to enhance the themes, bootsplash2fbsplash could be called to convert every theme. This doesn't need to be done due to resolution constraints, altho it would be nice.

Sorry about the duplicating fellas I hit submit, and cancelled due to lack of action the hit submit again. Darn double posting... What else do you need from me?
Am now running 2.6.9-gentoo-r3, which contains vesafb-tng. Vesafb-tng works great btw. Upgrading is what caused this to appear. I should have checked for typos in #1. #1 should be applied to 2.6.9-gentoo-*, not 2.6.8, that was the typo :)
This problem will probably be solved in the following way: - bootsplash-themes will be renamed to splash-themes - splash-themes will install splashutils themes by default - splash-themes will install bootsplash themes if the 'bootsplash' USE flag is enabled At least that is the way we're planning for things to work with bootsplash-themes-livecd. Changes in bootsplash-themes will follow shortly after bootsplash-themes-livecd ebuilds are modified, so we might have to wait a few weeks before we get to see this in action :)
Great, do we leave the bug open until we "wait a few weeks before we get to see this in action :)" or do you want me to close it?
Let's just leave it open until it's fixed.
There is now a splash-themes-livecd in portage that installs *only* the fbsplash version. I will be updating it with the "bootsplash" USE flag to have it install the bootsplash version (current bootsplash-themes-livecd) if that flag is set. The reason is I needed something in portage very quickly before the portage freeze on Friday.
Anything happening with this? There's a related bug, whereby I have to emerge bootsplash-themes with --nodeps, otherwise it pulls bootsplash in, which is blocked by splashutils.
I've already started testing some of the themes, but it's a long and boring job, which currently doesn't have a high priority on my to-do list. This means it'll probably take some time before bootsplash-themes is moved to splash-themes. But it will happen, eventually ;)
bootsplash-themes-20040821-r1 has support for splashutils. If media-gfx/splashutils is installed on the system, the themes will automatically be converted by bootsplash2fbsplash. I've tested the themes converted in this way, and they appear to work. Note that the new version of bootsplash-themes depends on >=splashutils-1.1.9.6 (due to some updates in bootsplash2fbsplash), and is thus package.mask'ed for now.
thank you muchly for fixing this :)
