Blender 2.3 is out and an ebuild would be appriciated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
actually it's 2.30 ...but yes, a new ebuild would be nice ...this versions's REALLY improved :D
Created attachment 20344 [details] Ebuild for Blender 2.30 (created from blender-2.28c.ebuild with minor change) This ebuild works for me. Note, the "configure-fix.patch" used by earlier versions of blender fails on 2.30, so I hand-applied it and created an equivalent working patch, "configure-fix-2.30.patch", attached below.
Created attachment 20345 [details, diff] configure-fix-2.30.patch
Did you test emerging using this ebuild? Some reason my configure was tripping up when using --with-libjpeg, so I had to pry it out of the ebuild. (It's actually rather pointless having all of that if use stuff in there. It could have been done much more efficiently anyway: use jpeg && myconf="${myconf} --with-libjpeg=/usr" etc. Anyway, please let me know if that ebuild was actually tested, if not I'm going to commit the version I've already tried and tested.
Nevermind, the problem has been irradicated, thankyou for your help. Has been commited to CVS for ~x86 and ~ppc, hopefully I'll be cleaning out the old blender versions and getting a recent version into stable in the next few days.
