Bug 730190 – Why does virtualx.eclass ignores dependency on xorg-server[xvfb] on prefix?

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexey 2020-06-29 22:38:49 UTC]

Dependency on xvfb is declared like this: "!prefix? ( x11-base/xorg-server[xvfb] )"

This results in tests which rely on virtx to fail.
When I installed xorg-server[-elogind,xvfb] myself, and those tests succeeded.

What's the reason to disable that dependency on prefix?

Also I propose adding "xorg-server -elogind" to package.use of the prefix profile, because it's not very relevant there. I haven't tested xorg-server[elogind] though, maybe it would also work.
