emerge -evp world works fine for me; cosmetics: 'DESCRIPTION: $' -> 'DESCRIPTION:$'.
Can you explain what Xvfb is needed for? I am atm trying to run package tests (icedtea) with xorg-server[minimal]. I do not yet the outcome (they'll take a day or two to complete), but so far nothing seems to complain. Xvfb manpage: """Xvfb is an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory.""" I would suggest to add a xvfb useflag to x11-base/xorg-server which toggles building that server. Another idea: Can these servers not be split into own ebuilds, making xorg-server provide the Xorg server and letting packages like xvfb-server provide the Xvfb server, etc? (In reply to comment #3) > I would suggest to add a xvfb useflag to x11-base/xorg-server which toggles > building that server. That's even already reported: bug #352637 Maybe make that bug block this one and then depend on xorg-server[xvfb]? > Can you explain what Xvfb is needed for? See bug 352974 for one example This is current state
