Found a quality issue of the shotwell ebuild: media-gfx/shotwell-30.8 depends on media-libs/gexiv2 twice and therefore emerge misses the second restraint with gexiv2[vala]: --- BDEPEND= $(vala_depend) dev-libs/appstream-glib dev-util/itstool >=sys-devel/gettext-0.19.8 virtual/pkgconfig net-libs/libsoup:2.4[vala] media-libs/gexiv2[vala] Having had emerged media-libs/gexiv2 -vala the following emerge of shotwell failed: --- error: Package `gexiv2' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. * ERROR: media-gfx/shotwell-0.30.8::gentoo failed (compile phase): * ninja -v -j1 -l0 -C /srv/portage/media-gfx/shotwell-0.30.8/work/shotwell-0.30.8-build failed Then adjusting the USE vala for gexiv2 got through the emerge of shotwell successfully
I don't see an issue here in deps. gexiv2 is needed at runtime, and gexiv2[vala] is only needed at buildtime (vala gets compiled to C and then compiled with C compilers - the gexiv2 vapi file isn't needed at runtime). Not sure why this wouldn't be properly effective then, to force a rebuild of gexiv2 with vala enabled before shotwell is configured/compiled.
Ok, the problem is that I have converted the ebuild to EAPI-7, but failed to actually change EAPI=6 to EAPI=7, so it's just missing it in build depends, along with everything else in there (but you happen to have all those others installed).
