Here's some thoughts on the matter: |
7 |
|
8 |
- dev-lang/python is correct if the package works with all python |
9 |
versions in tree |
10 |
|
11 |
- in general we want new slots of packages like gcc being pulled in |
12 |
|
13 |
Here's how we could change Portage behavior for pulling new slots that |
14 |
are not strictly required: |
15 |
|
16 |
- for packages in the world file install as soon as available |
17 |
|
18 |
- for dependencies install the new slot if everything works with the new |
19 |
slot |
20 |
|
21 |
This would mean that Portage would stay with 2.6 as long as you have |
22 |
something that doesn't work with 3.x installed. |
