Required dependency is x11-proto/xineramaproto, which is listed as dependency of xorg-server. Just wrangled bug 301392 of yours, which seemed as likely not to be valid as this one. Maybe a problem with your local package db, broken file system or something like that?

[Comment 3 Zdenek Sojka 2010-01-18 18:25:14 UTC]

I have x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.2 installed

# emerge -vp x11-proto/xineramaproto
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.2  0 kB

The only *.h file it installs is:
/usr/include/X11/extensions/panoramiXproto.h

Downgrading to x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.1.2 seems to help, xorg-server compilation fails with different problem though:
In file included from main.c:116:
/usr/include/X11/extensions/dpms.h:40: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token

[Comment 4 Zdenek Sojka 2010-01-19 18:13:05 UTC]

It compiles fine when I have following in my package.mask:
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.7
>=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.7
>=media-libs/mesa-7.6      

>=x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.2
>=x11-libs/libXext-1.1       
>=x11-proto/xextproto-7.1    
>=x11-libs/libXtst-1.1       
>=x11-proto/recordproto-1.14 
>=x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.1    
>=x11-proto/fixesproto-4.1   
>=x11-libs/libXi-1.3         
>=x11-apps/xinput-1.5        
>=x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.3
>=x11-proto/inputproto-2        

I don't know how much is building of not-the-most-recent xorg-server officially supported...

Rémi, does the Xorg library ABI change that frequently and unexpectedly, that it is hardly feasible to state (or revise) dependencies properly, e.g. =x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.1* in this case? I feel always sorry, when parts of Gentoo's dependencies are not as reliable as it should be - and asking users to mask packages locally is a needless burden to them.

In this case, the ABI is actually preserved... (yeah, X is awesome) But generally, no, this was the first big headache since the modular Xorg split (which goes back to '03 if I'm not mistaken).

X libs are more or less dead at this point, this "cleanup" was about 20 years overdue. :)

There might be another such clean-up later on, but it should be much easier to deal with and should affect a lot less packages.

There are 2 issues here :

1) Some users _want_ to keep 1.6 while we (X11 herd) would like everyone to use 1.7. Since 1.6 is the stable version, we just can't prevent people from doing so.

2) EAPI/PMS doesn't let us have ranged deps, which is a shame, as it would have helped a _lot_ for this particular situation.

We (X11 herd) try our best to make sure users don't need to go with #1, but sometimes we just can't (ati releasing a compatible version of fglrx 3 months after 1.7 is out), and I've tried bringing up option #2 on the dev mailing list and it was flat out rejected.

So hopefully, when 1.7 goes stable and we remove 1.6, all this should be just a memory.

Cheers
