For instance, I'd build 3 debs from sync-engine, the core > engine and 2 plugins, and use dependencies and conflicts to manage them. Would be 3 ebuilds for Gentoo then: app-pda/libopensync-plugin-synce-0.2x depending on <app-pda/libopensync-0.30 app-pda/libopensync-plugin-synce-0.3x depending on >=app-pda/libopensync-0.30 app-pda/synce-sync-engine-0.1x requiring any version of libopensync-plugin-synce if libopensync is installed, or when a local "opensync" use-flag is specified. Any comments from Gentoo users? Cheers, Vasco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
