I never said that X links to it. I just said that I hope that it won't need |
| 5 |
to rebuilt X as well, because I did so just yesterday. I am not an X expert, |
| 6 |
*neither* I care what links against. I just don't want to go again through |
| 7 |
the pain of long compilations. I did that 2 weeks ago and did so yesterday. |
| 8 |
No more, thank you. I need my PC to work, not to view gcc and make working |
| 9 |
their butt off all day *and night* as it did for these two installations. |

Problem is, I never asked for this new incompatible version of libPNG. You |
| 12 |
are missing the point. This new version was suddenly emerged as part of the |
| 13 |
(I would assume...) --update world and has messed up my whole system. I |
| 14 |
never asked for such a mess, I just asked for an upgrade. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If these two libs were incompatible and create such problems, they should |
| 17 |
not have been allowed to be part of an ebuild. If this was a full |
| 18 |
installation of Gentoo 1.1a, that is ok, because all of gentoo will be |
| 19 |
linked against a certain version of libs. But I had 1.0 and when I tried to |
| 20 |
udpate world, the whole thing went to hell and now I am left with half apps |
| 21 |
that work and half that don't (plus libGL.so does not work either now :P). |
| 22 |
As for that script that I need to run, it does not really fixed anything. As |
| 23 |
I said, rebuilding the mess that the new libpng created, is not an option. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I would expect more testing to be done before releasing all these ebuilds to |
| 26 |
the users or have a more intelligent portage somehow to be able to avoid dll |
| 27 |
hell. |

As the other person very well said just an hour ago: |
| 30 |
"Right now, installing a particular Gentoo release is like nailing jelly to |
| 31 |
a wall...." |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I would expect a 1.0 release to be really 1.0 and to know that it works and |
| 34 |
that it won't put my installation in such state by emerging a game or a qt |
| 35 |
2.x app. I need a system that I can trust. That's all. |

Thank you, |
