Description Steev Klimaszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-27 14:28:52 UTC
When using the dri.sourceforge.net cvs for opengl, opengl-update breaks them, and they suggest emerge -C opengl-update before installing the files they create.  This adds the use flag noglupdate so that if you are using the cvs, it doesn't emerge opengl-update anymore.

noglupdate useflag add

attached is a diff file for xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1.ebuild that adds noglupdate as a
useflag to remove the opengl-update dependency.

I won't add fixes for random things that aren't part of Gentoo -- instead, this bug can serve as a patch for anyone else who's looking to fix your problem. It's great overlay material.

A more useful fix, however, would be a patch that hacked their Imakefiles to install the stuff to a Gentoo-friendly location so they could work with opengl-update instead of overwriting everything.
