Please fix https://bugs.gentoo.org/703952 first

[Comment 10 James Bates 2019-12-27 10:59:21 UTC]

Another issue which probably needs consideration before stabilizing:

The currently stable release, sci-libs/indilib-1.7.5, contains "core" drivers and "3rdparty" drivers. Both are contained within the package, and both are built by  sci-libs/indilib-1.7.5.ebuild, since upstream (https://github.com/indilib/indi/tree/v1.7.5) contains them.

The new package sci-libs/indilib-1.8.2-r1.ebuild, is based on upstream https://github.com/indilib/indi/tree/v1.8.2, which now only contains the "core" drivers. The "3rdparty" drivers are no longer in the same github tree.

Indeed, upstream has moved them to a compleltely different tree, at https://github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/tree/v1.8.2.

sci-libs/indilib-1.8.2-r1.ebuild, as it currently stands, * only * builds the "core" tree and hence the core drivers. Anyone who used to depend on any drivers in "3rdparty" will suddenly find them completely gone when he/she upgrades from 1.7.5 (current stable) to 1.8.2-r1 (should it be stabilized as is), causing probable frustration.

The proper solution is to either include building the "3rdparty" tree too in sci-libs/indilib-1.8.2-r1.ebuild, * or * to make a new package, sci-libs/indilib-3rdparty-.1.8.2.ebuild say, and have sci-libs/indilib depend on it.

I have an example for such an ebuild here: https://github.com/jamesbates/gentoo-overlay/blob/master/sci-libs/indilib-3rdparty/indilib-3rdparty-1.8.2.ebuild

Please consider this carefully before proceeding with stabilization.
