IMHO you're going a bit quick in switching everything; at least I would wait |
13 |
until the whole tree gets its deps converted to the virtual before letting |
14 |
libav be the first provider |
15 |
|
16 |
I hope my fears are unjustified but I'm not sure how the PMs would behave in |
17 |
the following cases: |
18 |
|
19 |
a deps on b and virtual/ffmpeg |
20 |
b deps on media-video/ffmpeg |
21 |
|
22 |
what happens when I want to install package 'a' on a fresh system ? the pm |
23 |
tries to pull the virtual and thus libav and sees a blocker with the non |
24 |
virtual one? |
25 |
|
26 |
same questions with: |
27 |
a deps on media-video/ffmpeg |
28 |
b deps on virtual/ffmpeg |
29 |
|
30 |
type 'emerge a b' |
