Had on mind to have some kind of "if this then that" rules in some pre-defined file like the profile updates; this would do specific emerge actions in specific situations (like this case). But as I saw it more as a hack, I didn't suggest it; it is better to keep the Portage tree consistent instead, than to add another file that grows the complexity further. Seems that you have cracked it. > Add this line to the dev-lang/python-exec ebuilds: > PDEPEND=">=dev-python/python-exec-10000:$SLOT" > > I wrote up the full research of it here: > http://robbat2.livejournal.com/240335.html Was wondering why CC missed, but I see you have contacted mgorny on IRC. > If there are no objections, I'd like to do this to the affected > ebuilds in a few hours. It is an improvement and it has been tested on a few systems; I don't think this is something that would hurt or be irreversible, it reverses the condition and adds a SLOT to be easier on Portage. It should work. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
