Why is it that openmotif requires *MANUALLY* deleting the old version, when 99% of non-slottable apps and libs allow portage to delete the old version and replace it with the new version? I'm obviously missing something here. In general that is the way it works. Neil posted to that effect a few hours ago. However, just because it usually works that way doesn't mean it always should or will work that way. There's this pesky thing called real life and the pesky corner cases that come with it. Sometimes a new version of a package simply cannot co-exist with an older version because of the way it's coded. Portage first builds a package and installs it to a sandbox environment to ensure that the package is buildable. Only when tis is established and proven, will it delete the old version and move the new one onto the live filesystem. If you have this co-exist problem with that package, you have to manually unmerge the older one, as portage will not take the risk of leaving you with an unusable package (that correctly is a decision that a human must take, it is TheUnixWay(tm) and TheOneTrueWayOfComputing(tm). The lesstif/openmotif mess is slightly different. Openmotif has an odd licensing scheme, so odd the Fedora (I think) has decided to not support it at all. The relevant Gentoo dev wants to set things up so that you have to have one or the other but not both. The sanest way to deal with this is to force the user to make a decision and implement it, and to not have to put up with whatever choice the dev happens to think is ideal. This could have been better documented. In fact, there should have been some documentation about it at all, but there isn't - just a mysterious blocker. I only know it because I read the new comments in $PORTDIR/profiles/packages.mask after every sync :-) And I see those comments are no longer there :-( It's just one of those things that we have to put up with occasionally in real life -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

In general, unmerging gstreamer-0.8 will cause other things linked to it to now not work, so I reckon you will suffer some fallout if you just unmerge it. A good safety net will be to look into the portage cache in /var/db/pkg, you will find a copy of the current gstreamer-0.8 ebuild you are using there. Copy it to your local overlay so you can remerge it if necessary. Do the same with any plugins that are also not in portage anymore Thank you all for the replies, greatly appreciated.

[gentoo-user] installing vmware?
hello list, i bought i laptop with windows xp pre-installed. i shrunk the windows partition to install my gentoo linux, which is what i normally use. but the machine is still dual boot. several years ago (8-9) i tried a 30-days demo version of vmware and it was quite efficient running windows in a virtual machine under linux. now i found that there are many ebuilds to install vmware, and i'm a bit confused: first, there are many different ebuilds, what do i need to run the windows xp i have installed in a different partition? second, vmware is not free in the sense that you have to buy it, what does the ebuild install? a free version? a demo? i found a few pages on the net explaining how to install vmware on gentoo, but i'm not clear about those issues. thanks for any hint. best, lj -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
