i'd like to change the jam build-system implementation in Gentoo from dev-util/jam to dev-util/ftjam. ftjam is maintained by the freetype project and is a drop in replacement for jam. jam itself hasn't seen much if any development upstream in quite some while and has some issues with strict aliasing and GCC 4.2 so i'd like to drop it from the tree. both ebuilds install /usr/bin/jam so they block each other.
what's the best way to go about this? a package move? get ftjam keyworded the same and change all the ebuilds that DEPEND on it at once? or change the ebuilds to do `|| (dev-util/ftjam dev-util/jam)` first? the ebuilds that this affects are: /usr/portage/dev-games/cel/cel-0.98.2.ebuild /usr/portage/dev-games/cel/cel-1.0.1.ebuild /usr/portage/dev-games/crystalspace/crystalspace-0.98.4.ebuild /usr/portage/dev-games/crystalspace/crystalspace-1.0.1.ebuild /usr/portage/dev-games/crystalspace/crystalspace-1.2.ebuild /usr/portage/games-engines/gargoyle/gargoyle-20060917-r1.ebuild /usr/portage/games-simulation/lincity-ng/lincity-ng-1.1.0.ebuild /usr/portage/games-simulation/lincity-ng/lincity-ng-1.1.1.ebuild /usr/portage/games-sports/trigger/trigger-0.5.2.1.ebuild /usr/portage/games-strategy/glest/glest-2.0.1.ebuild /usr/portage/games-strategy/netpanzer/netpanzer-0.8.1.ebuild /usr/portage/games-strategy/netpanzer/netpanzer-0.8.2.ebuild -- fonts / wxWindows / gcc-porting / treecleaners EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662 (0xF9A40662) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
