Description Tim 2011-05-08 07:26:01 UTC

Messages for package media-gfx/blender-2.57:     refers to packages that are no longer in the main portage tree, or are not yet ported to work with blender-2.5

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-gfx/blender-2.57
2. read "Messages for package media-gfx/blender-2.57:" at the end of the emerge.
3.
Actual Results:  
You get a message about packages that are no longer in portage or don't work with blender-2.5

Expected Results:  
No mis-information.

Two of the four packages suggested for external rendering support are no longer in the main portage tree.  (sunflow and luxrender)  yafray is in the tree but doesn't support blender-2.5.  Actually it is no longer maintained upstream.

From the yafaray.org site: The last YafRay release was the 0.0.9 version in Summer 2006. Notice that these sources aren't under development anymore.

yafaray-0.1.1 is in portage but you need the beta code yafaray-0.1.2 to work with blender-2.5.  Plus the scripts for blender that enable the yafaray renderer.  Visit the yafaray.org site for the latest information.

The version of povray in portage for the ~arch is suitable, and the scripts that are installed with blender-2.5 work with it. (media-gfx/povray-3.7.0_rc3)
