[gentoo-dev] Monolithic X unsupported

[Donnie Berkholz]

Hi all,

This is a formal notice that monolithic X is no longer supported.
Developers with X-dependent packages may pull the || virtual/x11 section
and retain just the modular dep list. Monolithic X will receive no
further security updates, and is currently subject to at least one local
security vulnerability.

As soon as overlays.gentoo.org supports git, I'll move the monolithic
ebuild into an X overlay and out of the tree. Until then, it will remain
in the tree as a courtesy. Monolithic users may have to use
package.provided because packages will no longer support virtual/x11.

Thanks,
Donnie
