VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" already does this. Thanks Note that xf86-video-ati-6.10.0 is mentioned here, while VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" ensures only 6.9.0, not 6.10.0 I know and this is intentional for now. The dep probably won't change in in the server, but will most likely be upped in the xorg-x11 meta. Thanks I run yesterday evening into this while upgrading xorg from 1.3 to 1.5. Within the file make.conf I had defined "ati" (for years I think) and assumed that this should be ok for 1.5 too. But b/c "ati" doesn't have any effect while "radeon" obviously brought me back my X11 probably I overlooked an ewarn, or ? I think putting an ewarn/elog message for such little changes is giving too much information. I think most of us devs are using elog too much already. Sorry you got bit by this, but I don't see the point of changing it back. And portage now has a very nice way of showing which USE flags have changed. Thanks Maybe it's possible to have something like if use video_cards_ati; then ewarn "Your VIDEO_CARDS contains ati but it's called radeon now" fi or something similar? And perhaps it'd be a good idea? Not sure if it works with ati not being in profiles/desc/video_cards.desc anymore -- depends on how package managers do the conversion - if a USE_EXPAND variable is noticed in env, or it filters it based on desc; probably former? |
