I've been improving portholes dependency display, adding more info to |
| 2 |
it. I've run into a minor snag when virtuals are concerned. There also |
| 3 |
seems to be 2 sources of virtuals. Both are not identical to each |
| 4 |
other: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
/usr/portage/virtual -- which seem to be packages. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
virtuals = portage.db[portage.root]["virtuals"] from gentoolkit.__init__.py |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I've found virtuals in the tree that are not in portages virtuals and |
| 12 |
vice-versa. |
| 13 |
Is there an order to their use by portage? Can the ones in the tree be |
| 14 |
treated as a category/package for listings, etc.. The ones in the tree |
| 15 |
do seem to be returned by: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
portage.db['/']['porttree'].getallnodes()[:] # copy |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The main reason I am looking at this is for indicating the dependency |
| 20 |
installed/needed for the virtual. If an installed one is found I use |
| 21 |
it's package name. If not where should I get it? From the virtuals in |
| 22 |
portage or the tree? both? - then which order? |
| 23 |
|

Thanks. |
