Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2014-05-01 03:04:06 UTC 
Default value of VALA_MAX_API_VERSION should be updated to "0.24".
Comment 1 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-01 15:01:13 UTC 
Not until it is unmasked or some package outside of the Gnome 3.12 mask needs it.

Comment 3 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-01 15:06:30 UTC 
vala-0.24 was already unmasked :)

I would suggest that now, while 3.12 is still masked, is the best time to test whether setting VALA_MAX_API_VERSION to 0.24 breaks anything in gnome-3.10 or external applications (e.g. shotwell), adjust the ebuilds that don't work with 0.24, and then change the eclass.
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-01 15:13:24 UTC 
Note that it will break ebuilds like anjuta. See bug #508706.

I don't fully understand you comment in that bug report, isn't enough with setting MAX version to the MIN one in ebuild as we were doing until now? :/
Comment 6 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-04 06:10:28 UTC 
I rebuilt everything that uses vala.eclass and saw only 4 packages (gnome-contacts, activity-log-manager, systemd-ui and uevt) that don't work with valac-0.24; these now have VALA_MAX_API_VERSION=0.22.

So vala.eclass should now be safe to update.

+  VALA_MIN_API_VERSION too.
