Gentoo's lightdm-gtk-greeter ebuild pulls in xfce libs and i've head that geki's doesn't but I run into this | Code: | * ERROR: x11-misc/lightdm-gtk-greeter-2.0.6::geki failed (depend phase):
* EAPI=7 is not supported
*
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 635: Called source '/var/lib/layman/geki/x11-misc/lightdm-gtk-greeter/lightdm-gtk-greeter-2.0.6.ebuild'
* lightdm-gtk-greeter-2.0.6.ebuild, line 6: Called inherit 'autotools' 'xdg-utils'
* ebuild.sh, line 326: Called __qa_source '/usr/portage/eclass/xdg-utils.eclass'
* ebuild.sh, line 111: Called source '/usr/portage/eclass/xdg-utils.eclass'
* xdg-utils.eclass, line 20: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* *) die "EAPI=${EAPI} is not supported" ;;

It complies for others so would someone kindly tell me how to fix this?

Report it to the overlay maintainer. Although that motivation in bug report seemed a bit weird...
You can also copy the ebuild to your LOCAL overlay and siwtch EAPI=7 to 6. |

EAPI-6 isn't deprecated and ebuilds using it gets committed to main tree everyday. What you're doing is just making things break intentionally, for no good reason. You're also going to get your overlay removed from layman's list.
You could copy the eclasses to your overlay and bump EAPI in those to make them work too...

Not really.

EAPI-6 is still there, too?
Let's ask this: what do you gain from bumping stuff to latest EAPI? |

Thanks everyone for helping me understand this.
Seems pulling in xfce-base-evo didn't mess with my desktop so I'm staying with the Gentoo ebuild. |

to keep it simple, dear. feel free to help out? no?  I got no time for your wishes.
and yes, patches to gentoo eclasses are there for 3 months as PR not applied to tree. so, well, still cannot help gentoo devs there.

Nice, you didn't even answer what I asked but decided to do some personal lash-out on me.

I thought I was being helpful explaining EAPI-6 is still very functional and supported by Gentoo, and that you're just intentionally breaking your packages, but I guess this is some attitude thing, and has nothing to do with me so whatever.

If you checked the status of that PR, it's still being worked on ;)
Anyway since this topic is solved and I've said what I wanted to say, I think it's hopeless to continue this discussion. Have your attitude, and have a nice day. |
