Yeah, but I think it's a hack in this case. All of the current versions in portage |
4 |
are 1.95, which I believe were pre-releases to 2.0. As far as I can tell, nothing |
5 |
is vastly different in 2.0 other than bug fixes and a final soname change. As well, |
6 |
we'd have to put the slotted versions header files into directories where all of the |
7 |
packages that depend on expat won't know where to find them. |

It's going to cause a mess of "why did my program stop working?" bugs, but it's |
10 |
probably one of these things that should have been done a long time ago. |
