Description Andreas Kinzler 2025-04-18 11:03:39 UTC 
mandatory dep on dev-libs/vala-common should be removed

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnome-base/librsvg-2.58.5
2. ebuild wants to emerge dev-libs/vala-common
3.



I modified the ebuild to remove any reference to "vala" and it worked just fine. The comment in the ebuild says "# dev-libs/gobject-introspection-common, dev-libs/vala-common needed by eautoreconf"

It's probably better to just clean that up when bumping to the next major version which ports to Meson instead.
