As I've been unable to find out why packages are PROVIDE'ing non-virtual |
| 2 |
packages (ie the claim to provide another package which already |
| 3 |
exsists), which is against the described behaviour in the man page, |
| 4 |
should I create bug reports against all of these to find out what is |
| 5 |
going on? |
| 6 |
(I've also queried this behaviour in the forums) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
most may relate to package moves but I'm still wondering about |
| 9 |
gcc,coreutils,kbd etc. |

thanks, |

PROVIDE = "virtual/TARGET" |
| 16 |
This variable should only be used when a package |
| 17 |
provides a virtual target. For example, black- |
| 18 |
down-jdk and sun-jdk provide virtual/jdk. This |
| 19 |
allows for packages to depend on virtual/jdk |
| 20 |
rather than on blackdown or sun specifically. |
