I've recently stumbled upon several packages unnecessarily using old |
2 |
preserve_old_lib feature from eutils.eclass, namely: |
3 |
|
4 |
libgnomekbd |
5 |
libproxy |
6 |
|
7 |
And then users hit issues like this: |

|
11 |
Please only use the preserve_old_lib function in case of breaking: |
12 |
|
13 |
- base-system |
14 |
- toolchain |
15 |
- or the library is so widely used that revdep-rebuilding the system |
16 |
would be nearly impossible without having the old lib around since |
17 |
revdep-rebuild (emerge) can't get the emerge ordering right (because of |
18 |
overlinking and lack of asneeded by default, namely jpeg and png comes |
19 |
into mind) |

|

It's a hack, not a solution |
