Description dynamotwain 2005-09-08 11:04:17 UTC

xorg has had the 'sdk' use flag for a while now so that outside ebuilds can
compile drivers and modules for X without relying on the presence of the
original X source files (which are quite big)

Does VNC rely on some source files that aren't installed via the 'sdk' use flag?
If so, should/can these additional files be installed at xorg build-time instead
of relying on the presence of a fixed version of X?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
USE="sever" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS"~x86" emerge vnc
Actual Results:  
Downloading 45 MB or so of X sources before VNC compiles.

Expected Results:  
Utilize the files installed via 'sdk' rather than re-download X... and
potentially a different version of X at that.

Re-assign.

It seems net-misc/vnc currently lacks a maintainer, if you can attach a patch it would be most helpful...

Portage cannot depend on use flags yet, best option is IMO to split the ebuild (see Bug 77376).
