The same way that gtk-1 / gtk-2 goes -- add a bunch of useflags and force the package to use a particular version. :) So for heimdal it becomes: db1? ( sys-libs/db-1* ) !db1? ( db3? ( sys-libs/db-3* ) ) !db1? ( !db3? ( db-4.0? ( sys-libs/db-4.0* ) ) ) ... db.eclass anyone? :) After all, it is not only important to make heimdal compile and link properly, you also have to track the proper dependency and only make the package depend on the library that it is linked against. Or is a dep on sys-libs/db going to make the package depend on all slotted versions of db? -- (* Georgi Georgiev (* Thus spake the master programmer: "When a (* *) [EMAIL PROTECTED] *) program is being tested, it is too late to *) (* +81(90)2877-8845 (* make design changes." -- Geoffrey James, (* *) ------------------- *) "The Tao of Programming" *) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
