I sort of suggested that, actually, but bill-auger suggested 12:18 PM <bill-auger> its a hassle to maintain if the package name always changes though Since I didn't want to decide for you all whether you want a series of icu$ver or a rolling icu-parabola package, I just helped advise GNUtoo and bill-auger into getting this method off the ground. With this package, I believe the intent would be to just upgrade icu-parabola whenever the icu package updates. Instead of providing icu65, it will use makepkg's automatic find_libprovides functionality: the PKGBUILDs specify matching provides/depends of "libicui18n.so" and the final package contains libicui18n.so=65-64 or libicui18n.so=65-32 (soname-elfclass). It should be more or less the same end-user experience as an icu65 package, I guess. With the addition of libprovides to ensure automatic version dependencies. -- Eli Schwartz Arch Linux Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
