Description Alex 2017-05-04 19:08:53 UTC

Hi,

Today's mpv-9999 pulls in libXinerama and libXScrnSaver, though "xinerama" and "xscreensaver" USE flags are gone now.

I don't know what is the reason for that, but up to now in my system mpv worked happily without xinerama or screensaver.

Can I have "xinerama" and "xscreensaver" flags back?

Regards,
Alex

Looks like upstream removed the configure option that these USE flags used?

Sorry, but no. Upstream no longer supports having separate X features like xinerama or xscreensaver. Now, when you enable X you get the whole package.

If you want this changed back, please take it upstream. I can't do much here.

Those libs are tiny. I'm not sure why you're trying to avoid them as a dependency?
