Fun fun dependencies, for the new 0.10.1 release of beep media player. For starters, it requires >=2.7.5 of gtk+ which as any good gentoo devotee will know, is hard masked. Cairo >=0.9.0, also hard masked. The third optional (which is a nice addition to the base) is dbus>=0.35.2, is as if you can’t guess masked.

I’m going to be testing it out. Course chainsaw is no doubt already working on it. I’ll probably poke him a bit later to talk about it. Not that it will make it into the cvs tree as anything other then [M] hard masked. Should be interesting non the less

Oh, to top it off, seems that none of the patches for gentoo apply cleanly, so will have to investigate if they are still needed, have been applied upstream, or otherwise have to be modified to the new code. Currently the build fails here on the amd64 box. I’ll work on it tomorrow etc.
