The configure stage of building Kopete (on its own or as part of kdenetwork) fails to find the meanwhile includes if meanwhile is version 0.4 or higher. This seems to be because the include names changed in meanwhile-0.4. Shown in the config.log that will be attached. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge meanwhile-0.4 2.emerge kopete-3.4.1 Actual Results: Meanwhile support not built for Kopete. Expected Results: Built with support for meanwhile.

Created attachment 61714 [details] Config.log for kopete-3.4.1 single ebuild
Upstream bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104027
meanwhile 0.3 is stable keyworded, 0.4 is ~arch for all archs. kopete presumably uses 0.3 through autodetection, but doesn't have a dep. So as a first measure I've changed the kopete/kdenetwork ebuilds to disable meanwhile support no matter what. To add meanwhile 0.3 support to kopete, we'd need to add keywords to meanwhile-0.3 such as ~amd64. 0.3 doesn't compile on amd64 out of the box, and 0.4 does, so this is a somewhat unpleasant task. And even then, a <meanwhile-0.4 dep in kopete would cause an upgrade/downgrade loop. To add meanwhile 0.4 support to kopete, we need upstream to finish fixing the kopete code in the linked bugs.kde.org bug :-)
IMHO this should have higher severity than "normal". Piece of functionality that is crucial to me (that used to work) doesn't work. Can we at least cast our votes for upstream bug? http://bugs.kde.org/votes.cgi?action=show_user&bug_id=104027
upstream bug has been fixed :-)
Could you ask to backport the fix for kde 3.4.2?
They clain no backport iwll happen for 3.4, so you'll either need to convince them otherwise or ..?
