Description Jae Hak Kim 2024-06-25 02:33:43 UTC
There is no need to block xdg-desktop-portal-gnome via unsupported USE flag since xdg-desktop-portal is controlled by XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environmental variable and /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf

        !unsupported? (
                !gui-apps/qt6ct
                !sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
        )



Plasma 5 does not have this requirement.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have gnome-shell installed
2. Intall (or upgrade) Plasma 6 with USE="-unsupported"

Actual Results:  
sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome blocks kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6

See https://github.com/gentoo/kde/pull/996.

It's still unclear why it got added to the upstream recommendations, but I agree with your reasoning.

    kde-plasma/plasma-meta: fix libc++ workaround advice

    Rin Cat points out on the bug that it should be =2, not =1. Also, clarify
    the need to rebuild packages afterwards.

    kde-plasma/plasma-meta: allow xdg-desktop-portal-gnome with USE=-unsupported

    USE=-unsupported (the default) banning coinstalls with sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
    caused issues with users either migrating between KDE Plasma and GNOME or
    wanting to have both installed, so it prompted me to look into it again.

    xdg-desktop-portal-kde installs kde-portals.conf which is used and preferred
    within the Plasma desktop, so we have no issue here. (Done in upstream
    commit ae9b326e55ca4a25a762cf0bfe96f5e947765833).

    The recommendation to not coinstall them was added upstream in April 2023
    at https://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations&diff=prev&oldid=96239,
    while the aforementioned upstream commit is from May 2023.
