Hi Barry,
think it is not really desirable to have two major version of such kind of
package in vanilla T2. It is for gtk 1, vs 2, vs 3 - or Qt, …
In the case of streamer it may also be favorable for something targeting
lightweight systems like Puppy to only ship the older version thru a target
package overlay until the last packages eventually migrate to the newer version.
Regards,
René
