I can't say I really agree with either sentiment here. Generally if one updates a port that others depend on, there is some responsibility for fallout. It's not really fair to hold downstream ports accountable for others actions when they weren't even notified. Secondly, one doesn't have to run KDE4 to "help". They only have to try to build libdraw-kde4 (a port KDE4 depends on). Poudriere testport would preload it's requirements and and "-i" would give a prompt after the build. I don't use KDE4 either but I know it's possible to trouble this problem without it. > >> I think chances are pretty good that this is a direct result (fallout) >> of updating libraw so we might be talking about a revert here. > > Well, I don't think that's possible to revert back last changes for libraw > cause it was > security update. Well, sure it's possible. It's probably not the recommended approach -- it's probably better to make libkdraw-kde4 build with it, but I think all options are available. I think I'd even add a comment to libraw to not update again without confirming kde4 still builds. In the end, basically libkdraw-kde4 (or libraw) is missing a compiler flag. It's probably an easy fix. It's probably taking longer to write emails than it is to fix it. Later, I'm off to the airport now.
