And, then, this is a problem as we need to drop gnome-panel applet support to drop dependency on obsolete gnome-panel. The error I get when compiling with USE="-gnome" and no xfce support enabled: checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for GLIB... yes checking for DBUS_GLIB... yes checking for LIBPANEL... no configure: error: Package requirements (libpanelapplet-3.0 >= 2.32.0) were not met: No package 'libpanelapplet-3.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBPANEL_CFLAGS and LIBPANEL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Yeah, our ebuild lies a bit about what is available for user: > AS_IF( > [test "x$panel" = xgnome2], > [PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBPANEL, libpanelapplet-3.0 >= 2.32.0)] > LIBPANEL_APPLET_DIR=`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=prefix libpanelapplet-3.0`/share/gnome-panel/applets > [AC_DEFINE(PANEL_GNOME2, 1, [panel version])] > , > [test "x$panel" = xgnome3], > [PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBPANEL, libpanelapplet-4.0 >= 3.0.0)] > LIBPANEL_APPLET_DIR=`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=libpanel_applet_dir libpanelapplet-4.0` > [AC_DEFINE(PANEL_GNOME3, 1, [panel version])] > , > [test "x$panel" = xxfce4], > [PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBPANEL, libxfce4panel-1.0 >= 4.6.0)] > LIBPANEL_APPLET_DIR=`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=prefix libxfce4panel-1.0`/share/xfce4/panel-plugins > [AC_DEFINE(PANEL_XFCE4, 1, [panel version])] > , > [AC_MSG_ERROR([Unknown panel type, use gnome2, gnome3 or xfce4])] > ) Is gnome-panel-3.8.0 planned to be removed as well? If it does then I'd suggest we'll make ${PN} xfce-only.
Yes it will be dropped also. 3.8 gnome-panel was released for gnome-flashback project but, later, its development stopped and it isn't compatible with 3.10 even
