I have never needed package.provided before so am probably doing it
wrong.
There are know bugs I am encountering with
www-client/chromium-64.0.3282.140 and
net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.4.11-r200
Since each takes a while to build before failing, I would like to stop
trying until there is progress on the bugs
man 5 portage made me believe that package.provide was the answer.
E6430 ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.provided/chromium
# The current version won't build (known problem)
=www-client/chromium-64.0.3282.140
E6430 ~ #
E6430 ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.provided/webkit-gtk
# the -r200 won't build (known bug)
# "soon" won't need it since will have new gnucash
=net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.4.11-r200
E6430 ~ #
However
E6430 ~ # emerge --update --changed-use --with-bdeps=y @world
begins with
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild rR ] net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.4.11-r200
[ebuild U ] www-client/chromium-64.0.3282.140 [63.0.3239.108]
USE="-jumbo-build%"
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
