Bug 127241 – modular x deps for x11-wm/waimea

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Joe Sapp (RETIRED) 2006-03-22 15:14:56 UTC]

x11-wm/waimea needs to be updated to use modular X.  I'm in the process of doing so, however, the package has more problems than just not using modular X: it fails to compile since waimea hasn't been updated to use >x11-libs/cairo-1 (which is the only one in the tree).

As there is a porting guide, I'm trying to make this work.  When I do, I'll update it to use modular X and fix bug 125906 (and hopefully bug 91758 too).

Looks like upstream is dead (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/waimea/2006-January/000190.html).  I really don't want to remove waimea from the tree, but it doesn't even build right now.  Since this is the case, I'll p.mask it until I (or somebody) can make it work with the current cairo - I don't think it should be removed just yet.

x11-wm/waimea is in package.mask until I can more thoroughly test it.  I plan on leaving it in there for a while before discussing removal.

Someone uncommented the mask...

halcy0n did so since I forgot to mask x11-misc/wampager too, and he emailed me letting me know.  I've been lax in getting around to it, but it's now time to email -dev.

Created attachment 97595 [details]
waimea-0.5.1

This is the latest waimea code.  It needs patching to compile with >cairo-1 and actually work in a sane manner.

Created attachment 97596 [details, diff]
patch to waimea-0.5.1 to update to cairo-1

A patch to waimea-0.5.1.tar.gz so it will compile with >cairo-1.  It still is hardly functional, but it builds and runs.

Please, fix or punt this, not modular X ready.

Closing bug as x11-wm/waimea has been removed from the tree.
