1 Hi,
2
3 For those who have not followed bug #29388
4 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29388):
5
6 Openmotif and Lesstif are source incompatible so a virtual/motif is not
7 possible, there have been a lot of bug reports regarding it. There are
8 problems with openmotif-2.2 as well, which currently is not supported by
9 opengroup.
10
11 So we decided to drop virtual/motif and introduce a lesstif useflag instead.
12 We'll also have to remove openmotif-2.2 from portage for now. I'll move
13 openmotif-2.1.30-r3 and lesstif-0.93.94 to stable on Sunday and change the
14 virtual/motif deps to x11-libs/openmotif. This might cause some trouble with
15 libxm.so.3, revdep-rebuild should help here.
16
17 After that is done we can begin to add support for the lesstif useflag to the
18 ebuilds.

20 mfg, Heinrich
