Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-30 17:23:28 UTC 
dev-lang/vala-0.9.5 contains /usr/lib/pkgconfig/vala-0.10.pc , while all previous versions in portage contain /usr/lib/pkgconfig/vala-1.0.pc.  This means that pkg-config checks for packages using dev-lang/vala, which are based on finding 'vala-1.0', will fail.  

Since it seems that dev-lang/vala is not slotted (or at the present time at least is not going to be slotted), perhaps dev-lang/vala-0.9.5 and above should install a symlink from vala-*.pc to vala-1.0.pc ?


Reproducible: Always

>=vala-0.9.5 revisions are now slotted. I've tested with a recent release of
gupnp-vala that it works fine to have two slots of vala installed.
Thanks for reporting.

This is clearly not the case. You said that you slotted versions greater than 0.9.5 *including* 0.9.5, but you deleted 0.9.5 from the tree while keeping the older 0.9.3 ebuild around. So now all my stuff is getting forcibly downgraded. What gives?

Indeed. The slotting of >=0.9.5 and the subsequent removal of 0.9.5 means that media-gfx/shotwell will no longer emerge. Bug #338106.

Looks like this needs to be revisited?
Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-20 10:12:37 UTC 
slotmove lines were added a couple of minutes ago, the packages dependencies fixes are now tracked in bug #338067.
