Description David Korth 2020-04-28 16:08:08 UTC 
The xorg-proto-2020.1 package doesn't install xf86misc.h. This breaks packages that depend on it, e.g. xscreensaver.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install xorg-proto-2020.1.
2. Attempt to install xscreensaver.
Actual Results:  
xscreensaver fails to compile due to a missing xf86misc.h file.

Expected Results:  
xscreensaver compiles.

Not sure if =xorg-proto-2019.2 has the same issue.
Comment 1 David Korth 2020-04-28 16:12:24 UTC 
Looks like xf86misc.h is considered a "legacy" header, so --enable-legacy needs to be specified in order to install it. Not sure if this should be added as a USE flag or not.

Thanks for the report. It made me realize that we should remove x11-libs/libXxf86misc, which is being handled in bug 720150.

I've fixed reverse dependencies, including xscreensaver so that it will not depend on libXxf86misc or xf86misc.h.

As a result, there's nothing to fix in xorg-proto, so closing as WONTFIX.
