Description David Michael 2021-06-06 16:03:45 UTC
The ebuild currently PDEPENDs on eselect-xvmc, but nothing ever calls it, so it isn't doing anything.

Even if it was called manually, the module hard-codes /usr/lib, so it doesn't detect any targets on 64-bit systems using lib64 (or any other non-lib LIBDIR):

> # eselect xvmc list
> Available XvMC implementations (* is current):
>   (none found)
At least the NVIDIA implementation that the module attempts to find does not exist.  I don't have any of the other proprietary drivers to check those, but libXvMC is the only existing implementation I see on any of my systems.

Also, libXvMC's PDEPEND is the only reference to eselect-xvmc in the entire repository, so the package could probably be last-rited.
