I just changed how alternatives works. The upgrade path for users is: 1) sync 2) for each subdirectory of /etc/env.d/alternatives, run "eclectic $SUBDIRECTORY unset" 3) run "rm -r /etc/env.d/alternatives/*" 4) update app-admin/eclectic 5) run "cave print-owners /etc/env.d/alternatives", and reinstall all the packages and slots it lists 4½) manually create any symlinks needed for step 5 to work - this'll probably include at least $CHOST-gcc, and ghc+haddock+hsc2hs if you use it
For exheres authors that use alternatives (although I've fixed everything in the official repositories): 1) unique names are gone, you just need a source and target for each symlink 2) importance can now be a dot-separated sequence of integers, such as 1.2.3 _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
