Re: [gentoo-dev] How well supported is collision-protect?

I'm hoping to alleviate (NOTE: not resolve) some of this when we can do versioned virtuals, but until then I sympathize with the bug posters and kindly ask them to disable collision protect until the module is installed. //mcummings -- -o()o- Michael Cummings |#gentoo-dev, #gentoo-perl Gentoo Perl Dev|on irc.freenode.net -o()o- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

I personally have a whole bunch of collisions on my system, most of which man pages. http://gg3.net/~chutz/gentoo/collisions I'll see to report them. make sure they arent already fixed ... just glancing at the top list, a bunch are either already in bugzilla or resolved also, there's the issue of SLOT based packages ... dont report those just yet ... -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

However, sometimes there are some issues (the xorg move, perl modules manpages or portage compilation objects to name a few) that can't be fixed really. That's why I don't think it will ever be a default setting.
