Oh hell, this can't be serious ! It mixes up diffent things to one and just introduces new problems instead of solving anything. I could live with that, if it's for supporting different ABIs, but it obviously isn't. gtk1 and gtk2 are completely different packages, they're not compatible. So why should they be one package ? Just because they share some ideas and the name ?! For example, there are lots of packages requiring gtk1, other gtk2. As long as dependencies don't cope the slot cleanly, slotting is utterly useless. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
