Description Julian Ospald 2012-06-10 18:21:53 UTC
This package makes use of gtk3 useflag which indicates that there are issues of migration to gtk+:3.
Gtk3 and similar useflags should be avoided.

Adding to tracker. Please have a look.

There are no issues with this package. It requires all depends be built with gtk3 or gtk2 and not mixing and matching as I would expect many apps do. 

The tracker which you refer to doesn't have solution so not really sure what you're expecting here.

To have slotted virt-viewer, for example :2 and :3, GTK+-2 and GTK+-3

SLOTs are preferred over the mistake called USE="gtk2" or "gtk3"

And have the mess that is webkit-gtk? -r2xx is gtk2 based and -r3xx is gtk3 based. No thanks.
Comment 4 Julian Ospald 2012-12-05 00:19:06 UTC
why not force gtk+3 here and drop the useflag entirely?

What's the advantage for users to pull in nearly 20 packages and rebuilds just so you don't have to see the ugly that is the gtk3 use flag?

USE=gtk3 emerge -pv virt-viewer is pretty hefty on my system.
