[gentoo-portage-dev] Connecting source and binary packages.
I have mozilla-firefox-bin installed, but when I update things that depend on firefox (such as epiphany), they attempt to get mozilla-firefox instead. How do I make emerge realize that I already have the binaries installed and don't need the source distribution? Thanks, Jason -- gentoo-portage-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Although, if you enable the xulrunner use-flag, it draws that in instead, but i'm not sure how big a difference there is in size in between those (mozilla-firefox and xulrunner that is) Thanks, this was the easiest solution and the one I used. Package size is no big deal, it's build times that I was trying to cut down on. Jason -- gentoo-portage-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
