1 Hi there

3 I haven't search the mailing list. Please forgive me if the discussion was
4 already started earlier by someone else.

6 After posting and closing the bug report:
7 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135870
8 Jakub Moc noticed that the current >=virtual/x11-7.0 ebuild misses its task
9 and creates trouble.
10
11 For example: This ebuild behaves partly like a ordinary meta build and
12 installs imake. You need imake (more correctly xmfmk) to install tightvnc.
13
14 Unfortunately you are not forced to install at least virtual/x11-7.0-r1.
15 virtual/x11-7.0 causes trouble with tightvnc because of the missing
16 xmfmk tool.
17
18 For that reason I want to request the deletion of virtual/x11-7.0 and
19 that at least some dependencies of virtual/x11 are moved to
20 =>x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0 where these dependencies belong to IMHO. xorg-x11 is
21 a meta ebuild. virtual/x11 shouldn't be a second meta ebuild for the
22 Modular X.org because otherwise you would have two meta ebuilds that will
23 maybe cause more trouble in the future.

25 Thanks and best regards
