Upstream has changed the default layout for gnustep applications: standard FHS layout is now recommended (as opposed to our current prefix /usr/GNUstep).
Switching to this layout has some advantages for us: staying close to upstream, standard paths, gnustep apps running fine without too many environment variables, ... However it does imply remerging all installed gnustep packages, hence this news item as an early warning to users. I plan to commit it on 2011-04-26, and drop the package.mask for the corresponding ~arch packages a few days later Comments and reviews welcome! -- Bernard Cafarelli (Voyageur) Gentoo developer (NX, GNUstep, net-misc, ...)
Title: GNUstep packages new layout Author: Bernard Cafarelli <voyag...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2011-04-26 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <gnustep-base/gnustep-make-2.6.0 Traditionally, GNUstep used its own filesystem layout, installing everything under /usr/GNUstep. Starting with gnustep-make-2.6.0, the default filesystem layout has changed and is now the 'fhs' layout, installing files in standard Unix directories. Following upstream's change, GNUstep packages in Gentoo will now also use the new default layout. Your system will switch to it after updating gnustep-base/gnustep-make to >=2.6.0. This change means that you have to re-emerge all installed packages depending on GNUstep to move them to the new layout. You can use gnustep-base/gnustep-updater for this step
