[Comment 1 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2013-03-29 10:49:23 UTC]

This needs to be reported upstream.

[Comment 2 Samuel Bauer 2013-04-10 19:39:14 UTC]

Upstream is here, but for now i don't have internet connexion at home, my current glibc is stable (2.15-r3), I'll fetch the unstable (2.17), and try to fix this issue.
When I'll have opportunity to have an internet access from my laptop, i'll push the fix, and send a new ebuild (which I proxy-maintain).
Sorry, if it takes a while.

The build worked fine for me, maybe the glibc patchset has been updated since the bug was opened. Maybe something in my test is missing, just try to notice it to me if you see something wrong.

P.S.: Testing just gave me a little headache, when I tried to downgrade the glibc. I didn't know about the eblits files under in the ebuild directory. (I need elder glibc version has a boost dependencie, and always prefer to keep such important ports stables)

It is not glibc issue. If you redefine default linker(by making 'cp ld.gold ld' in 
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.23.1/) you will got exactly the same error, because of gold linker is more strict and does not support underlinking[1]. My version of installed binutils - 2.23.1, your version can be different.

gtkdiskfree-2.0.1-r1.ebuild

I added LIBS="-lm" to the econf call. I assume it will explicitely link to the missing lib. Hope it's good when linking with gold (I changed it in the build system but still didn't pushed changes).
Leeds me to one question: whether with --as-needed or --no-copy-dt-needed-entries as cited in #comment3 , gcc ld still links everything fine, why so ?

I also removed the -g option from the makefile (an error in the build system, I'll fix it later, and push).

Also changed from !gtk3? ( x11-libs/gtk+:3 ) to !gtk3? ( x11-libs/gtk+:2 ), the ebuild is more consistent so.

Maybe introducing new USE-flag gtk and setting something like:

REQUIRED_USE="^^ ( gtk gtk3 )"

will be even more consistent, no?

And src_configure can be simplified, i will post my suggestion later...

It seems that i was wrong, look at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gnome_Team_Policies#gtk3. So, we should leave support for only one of GTK+ major versions...

I accepted to proxy-maintain gtkdiskfree only with gtk2 support, when I ported gtkdiskfree to gtk3 (see #410757)
gtk flag is so often used instead of gnome one, it seems really confusing, but not forbidden.
Some apps are working as a charm when compiled with gtk2, but really buggy if comipled with gtk3, and dot being able to compile apps with the toolkit one dare to, is the new gentoo policy. 
EXTRA_ECONF="--with-gtk2" is just a quick workaround (extra dependencies needed only with gtk3, ...).
On the other hand maintaining for both gtk version becomes harder, but it could just be available but unsupported.

About desktop file, can you mail me your patch, I also tried to fix it (changing file encoding), desktop-file-validate doesn't insult more, but I'm not sure russian translation are still good.

Recent discussion in gentoo-dev blames for such confusions. I have tested GTK+-3 versions - it does seem fail or buggy for me. I am not against choice for users, but if it becomes burden for team - it is not good(even if Gnome guys do not maintain this package - they are appeal court in possible hard situations, and i do not want to violate their policies for no reason)

Thanks for the patch link. Diff with mine is just that I used to remove the MultipleArgs entry instead of changing it to X-MultipleArgs, there was no matter with encoding.

I understand your point of view. Even it's good way to track bug for me to be ebuild maintainer, just remove me of the maintainer list in the metadata.xml file if no gtk2 support, maybe also ask Michael Weber if he still want to proxy-commit with no proxy-maintainer.

I have requested some clarifications about this in maillist. Maybe we could reintroduce GTK2 support in some other way...

Did you post to gentoo-devhelp maillist, I would like to register to follow the  thread it is discussed in. It can give me a larger view of the ideas other people submit.

As I'm not quite sure which list it is in, I prefer to ask before registering.

i have asked in gentoo-dev maillist, you can follow thread here - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/87600, subscribe instructions - http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml

As you can see - there is no strong opinion about that policy, so you probably should say what you think as maintainer.
