[gentoo-user] Slots
I have just realized about programs that can be installed in slots. Is there a way for me to find out what programs are installed in more than one slot on my computer? Can I tell if a particular program in a slot is still needed? Thanks, Jeff -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

As for finding out whether a particular version of a slotted package is still needed or not, well, you could do: emerge --prune pkg emerge -Dv world revdep-rebuild But the above is a bit dangerous, and could break your system. Be careful. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] SLOTS and Cedega
Hi all, Those of you that use Cedega probably know that some versions work better with some games than others. I'm wondering how to install multiple versions simultaneously, via Portage, without having them stomp all over each other. Yes, I could use Point2Play, but that seems to cause more problems than it solves much of the time, and I would rather avoid it. I am also trying to keep as much of the Wine things as possible in one family (either WINE or Cedega, I really don't want to have to keep track of what's running under which any given month. One time through the WINE and TG databases and Wikis and forums was quite enough for now). As I see it, there are two issues of concern: 1) SLOTS 2) binary name Now for WineX v3 and WineX ver2 this is not so much of a problem, because WineX 2.2.1 (needed for Planescape:Torment, as this is the only version it runs under) a) actually has its own SLOT (2.2.1), and b) uses a unique binary name (winex, whereas WineX 3.3.2 uses the binary name winex3). However, all versions of WineX 3 and Cedega use the same SLOT (3) and of course, all versions of cedega use the same binary name (cedega). So here's my question; if I: 1) edit the ebuilds for the Wine versions I want to use to give them unique SLOTS (by version number) 2) unpack and repack the *.tgz packages to make sure that a) the files install into unique directories under /usr/lib (only a problem for multiple versions of Cedega itself; WineX v2 and WineX v3 install into unique directories under /usr/lib) and b) the binaries have a unique name (again only a problem for multiple versions of Cedega, basically I'd just add the verion to anything other than the latest) 3) move the edited ebuilds to my OVERLAY and redigest them that should do it, yes? Have I missed or forgotten anything? And is this b.g.o-worthy? I really don't think that WineX 3 and Cedega should use the same SLOT-- at the very least Cedega should use SLOT 4, leaving SLOT 3 for WineX 3-- and by preference I'd rather that they all used a version-based slot like 2.2.1 does, since it's really not unreasonable that I might want to install several versions of Wine X/Cedega until such time as TG gets it together and stops breaking stuff that used to work in the name of getting the 'next big thing' to work. Just doing a double-check before I give this a shot; thanks for any suggestions. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] SLOTS and Cedega
Sounds good, need to add a wine-config (etc) and a hook to the new eclectic to manage the versions.
