They do, but at the moment just one can provide /bin/tar for a specific |
| 4 |
system. |

The idea is to be able to select one of the two, like loggers, crons, and |
| 7 |
similar. And just let virtual/tar be included in the base's packages, |
| 8 |
defaulting base virtual/tar to app-arch/tar, and overwriting it on freebsd |
| 9 |
profiles to app-arch/bsdtar. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
And when I want to remove app-arch/tar from linux... I can just select my own |
| 12 |
virtual provider on /etc/portage/profile, and let deps be clear by |
| 13 |
themselves. |
