most prolific package manager in use today. Could all of you just let this go. In this case Ciaran is actually right. Furthermore, From the beginning of the project there has been behaviour which was technically allowed but not condoned for official packages. The more formalized approach with EAPI/PMS is no different. Now this thread is too long already, just shut up about it. If you find the portage behaviour desirable and want it allowed in the tree. Well, EAPI is the way to go. Remember EAPI is not established by Ciaran, but by the council. Paul -- Paul de Vrieze Email: pau...@gentoo.org

2009-08-01 Thread Paul de Vrieze
don't think this is easy to do, but I think the solution to this problem should be the same as the (as yet not existing) solution to the multi-ABI problem as in (x86_64 vs. ix86). The biggest issue is to handle multiple instances of the same package and how to handle overlapping (ABI independent) files. Paul -- Paul de Vrieze
