We need a method to rename and move ebuilds... For example |
2 |
dev-perl/Mail-SpamAssassin does not belong in dev-perl... It really should be |
3 |
net-mail/spamassassin instead.. I don't think anyone using spamassassin cares |
4 |
that it is written in Perl... |
5 |
Another one is x11-themes/redhat-artwork which should be called bluecurve |
6 |
instead... Yes, that one is my fault because I submitted it as redhat-artwork |
7 |
a long time ago.. ;) But anyway.. How about a special variable in the |
8 |
ebuilds called OBSOLETES? |
9 |
An example: |
10 |
We move dev-perl/Mail-SpamAssassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.52.ebuild to |
11 |
net-mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-2,52,ebuild and add the line: |
12 |
OBSOLETES="dev-perl/Mail-SpamAssassin" |
13 |
|
14 |
A user who has Mail-SpamAssassin installed and run "emerge -u world" would |
15 |
then "upgrade" dev-perl/Mail-SpamAssassin to net-mail/spamassassin.. |
16 |
|
17 |
This could also be used in other places.. Example: |
18 |
|
19 |
net-www/galeon-1.3.0.ebuild: (when it is released) |
20 |
OBSOLETES="<=net-www/galeon-cvs-20030324" |
21 |
|
22 |
|
23 |
Does this sound sane? ;) |
24 |
Maybe it's already implemented in some way? I admit it was a LONG time ago I |
25 |
wanted this functionality last time, but it wasn't implemented by then... |
