Subject: virtualx.eclass changes
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:20:47 -0400
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Recently, virtualx.eclass changed how it adds dependencies.  Previously,
it always added IUSE=X, and added "X? ( x11-base/xorg-server
x11-apps/xhost )" to both DEPEND and RDEPEND (the RDEPEND part appears
to have been unintentional).  This has been changed to instead be in the
control of the ebuild inheriting virtualx.

If you always need an X server to build, set VIRTUALX_REQUIRED=always
before inheriting virtualx, and the dependencies will be added to DEPEND
unconditionally.

If you only need an X server to run tests, just inherit virtualx. The
dependencies will be added with "test? ( )" around them, and "test" will
be added to IUSE.

If you need the X server under other conditions, set
VIRTUALX_REQUIRED=manual before inheriting virtualx, then use
${VIRTUALX_DEPEND} in DEPEND as needed.



This change has effectively removed the "X" USE flag from the following
packages where it should have been "test":

    app-accessibility/gnome-mag
    app-accessibility/gok
    dev-libs/libunique
    dev-python/gnome-python-desktop
    dev-python/gnome-python-extras
    dev-python/pygobject
    dev-python/pygtk
    gnome-base/eel
    gnome-base/gnome-keyring
    gnome-base/libbonoboui
    gnome-base/libgnomecanvas
    gnome-base/nautilus
    gnome-extra/at-spi
    gnome-extra/gnome-games
    gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager
    media-sound/rhythmbox
    net-libs/webkit-gtk
    sci-astronomy/wcslib
    sci-mathematics/freemat
    x11-libs/gtk+:2
    x11-libs/guile-gtk
    xfce-base/thunar

The following other packages also had changes for this:
app-crypt/heimdal:
    the X server dep is now controlled by "test? ( X? ( ... ) )"
media-sound/rubyripper
    the X server dep is now unconditional, and the package's X flag is
    no longer in package.use.force.
