undeprecated-overlay

This is an overlay for fixing the mistakes Gentoo has made. Some examples of this are:

• Forcing libglvnd and removing eselect-opengl
• Removing consolekit, it's USE flags from any ebuilds using it preventing anyone from keeping it

Installation

• Copy undeprecated.conf to /etc/portage/repos.conf if it's a dir, or append it if it's a file
• emerge --sync undeprecated-overlay

Software

Included:

• app-eselect/eselect-opencl
• app-eselect/eselect-opengl
• media-libs/mesa (without forced libglvnd USE flag)
• sys-auth/consolekit
• sys-auth/polkit
• x11-base/xorg-server (without forced libglvnd USE flag)
• x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-{340xx,390xx}

How-To

Avoid libglvnd

• You must edit /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/base/use.force and set libglvnd to -libglvnd
• You must edit /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask and remove the eselect-opengl entry
• emerge -avC xorg-server mesa (include libglvnd if you have it)
• emerge -atv xorg-server::undeprecated-overlay mesa::undeprecated-overlay
• emerge -atv1 xf86-input-libinput (needed to fix input, oneshot to keep it out of @world)
• Restart X

Use consolekit

• emerge -atv consolekit::undeprecated-overlay

If you use polkit:

• emerge -avC polkit
• You must edit /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/base/use.mask and remove the consolekit entry for the consolekit USE flag to work
• Set the consolekit USE flag
• emerge -atv polkit::undeprecated-overlay, consolekit from the overlay will automatically be pulled in as a dep
