When I feel like enjoying compiles I just pick a 10 kg popcorn carn, 50 cold beers and fire up "emerge chromium" on my tv. Better done on sunday morning.
Jokes aside, I don't want to blame anyone, but as Alan McKinnon said above, that is supposed to be the responsibility of the one that makes the ebuild. Otherwise, I'd just use LFS and keep the pieces myself. Anyway, I repeat this came from an unofficial ebuild, though on the other side the official one didn't even work (portage has only e17, which turns my screen off). So I am not sure what to do about this, I guess the most sane way of fixing this in Gentoo would be to first add e18, then you have to wait for it to be stabilized (one month minimum), in the way, make the necessary changes and, either remove the xcb USE flag or mask it hard so that only those really interested and capable of dealing with that can use it. At least until (if) the xcb support stabilizes. I have to investigate the status of this, though. Also, I will try to contact whomever made the enlightenment unofficial overlay, and let him or her know about this thread. 2014-02-12 8:26 GMT+01:00 David Seikel <onef...@gmail.com>: > On Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:49:16 +0900 Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) > <ras...@rasterman.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, 12 Feb 2014 02:46:45 +1000 David Seikel <onef...@gmail.com> > > said: > > > > > On Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:41:40 +0900 Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) > > > <ras...@rasterman.com> wrote: > > > > > > > On Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:27:43 +0200 Alan McKinnon > > > > <alan.mckin...@gmail.com> said: > > > > > > > > > On 11/02/2014 10:28, Mick wrote: > > > > > > On Monday 10 Feb 2014 13:27:00 Jesús J.
