You have the gtk USE flag selected. I/we arbitrarily chose for gtk to have higher precendence than Xaw3d. If you want to use Xaw3d, make sure the gtk USE flag is not selected when installing emacs-cvs, either by setting environment variables or by configuring emacs-cvs-specific USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use. Marking as INVALID. What is done in the emacs-cvs ebuild is standard practice for ebuilds; however, i may be desirable for ebuilds to simply give an error in the case that confliting USE flags are selected, so that the user is not faced with arbitrary behavior automatically. The user would then have to use either environment variables or a per-package USE flag configuration so that conflicting USE flags are not specified. Prior to per-package USE flags, this type of behavior would be highly inconvenient. Now though, it may be more desirable. Until it is approved as a useful policy, however, I will not change the emacs-cvs ebuild. |
