IMHO you're going a bit quick in switching everything; at least I would wait until the whole tree gets its deps converted to the virtual before letting libav be the first provider I hope my fears are unjustified but I'm not sure how the PMs would behave in the following cases: a deps on b and virtual/ffmpeg b deps on media-video/ffmpeg what happens when I want to install package 'a' on a fresh system ? the pm tries to pull the virtual and thus libav and sees a blocker with the non virtual one? same questions with: a deps on media-video/ffmpeg b deps on virtual/ffmpeg type 'emerge a b' Regards, A.
