Attempting to install a headless version of Minetest (USE="-client server") pulls in X despite no need for graphical display. This is essentially a regression of 706372 (sorry for no link, new account), that happened due to switching to the Minetest irrlicht fork (795000, although this specific bug did not result in that switch). Could y'all split irrlicht-mt into two packages, just as happened with irrlicht? Or is there a better solution?

This is intentional - if they are not the same as those from dev-games/irrlicht-mt-headers something is SERIOUSLY wrong, and that way we do not have to mess with build scripts.

Appreciate it's an edge case but maybe worth adding a blocker for older irrlicht-mt in headers package (versions with unsplit headers)?
No such versions are left in the tree and pkgcommit has just told me to remove that blocker - so no.
(In reply to Marek Szuba from comment #3) > No such versions are left in the tree and pkgcommit has just told me to > remove that blocker - so no. 1. Have =dev-games/irrlicht-mt-1.9.0.4 installed 2. Merge =dev-games/irrlicht-mt-headers-1.9.0.4. 3. Get colllision. * dev-games/irrlicht-mt-1.9.0.4:0::gentoo * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/CVertexBuffer.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/EAttributes.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/EFocusFlags.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/EGUIAlignment.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IAttributes.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/ICameraSceneNode.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IGUIComboBox.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IGUIImage.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IImageWriter.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IMeshCache.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IMeshManipulator.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IMeshWriter.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/ISceneCollisionManager.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/ISkinnedMesh.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/ITimer.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IWriteFile.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/IrrCompileConfig.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/S3DVertex.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/SMaterial.h * /usr/include/irrlichtmt/line3d.h * * Package 'dev-games/irrlicht-mt-headers-1.9.0.4' NOT merged due to file * collisions.

It's contrived but possible and users do fun things like partial upgrades all the time (or maybe forget to p.accept_keywords unconditionally).
(it wouldn't actually happen naturally, only if someone deliberately tried to emerge the headers before upgrading the main package, but it's still possibly going to get noticed by tinderboxes.)
