I don't really know what was behind virtual/os-headers versus |
| 2 |
virtual/linux-headers or something like that. |
| 3 |
I'm currently considering that, as sometimes you need to depend on some |
| 4 |
version of linux headers, it might make sense to use a versioned virtual, but |
| 5 |
that would make no sense for Gentoo/FreeBSD and other Gentoo/Alt systems. |
| 6 |
So I'm asking if someone can summarize me why the os-headers virtual is named |
| 7 |
this way and if we can get rid of that or at least implement another |
| 8 |
virtual/linux-headers to use versioned that can also be used to make sure for |
| 9 |
instance that packages requiring v4l2 are getting 2.6 headers (see the |
| 10 |
problems with v4l/v4l2 on sparc). |
