Well, the best technical solution for this is probably "subslot dictionaries" as suggested in bug 462138. Then, for each library a separate subslot could be declared, and programs can only be rebuilt if really needed. However, 1) I see this as a measure only for special cases, since it once again increases the maintainer burden. Going from subslot to subslot dictionary should only be done in a package if it's really worth the effort. 2) Maybe we should consider decoupling the subslot from the slot then. I.e. introducing a separate variable SUBSLOT. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462138 -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer (council, kde) [email protected] http://www.akhuettel.de/
