1 Hi,
2
3 bug #13992 with an example ebuild #14004
4
5 Why is this needed?
6
7 zope-2.6.0* requires python-2.1.3. Some 3rd party
8 modules/products require extensions to python2.1.
9
10 Bug #13992 should help fix some of that, and it
11 doesn't require that other ebuilds to be modified. It
12 does require that ptyhon extensions need new
13 ebuilds(forked) for the python2.1 slot though. (e.g.
14 egenix-mx-base-py21-2.0.4.ebuild)
15
16 This way it's possible to emerge an extension to
17 virtual/python and virtual/python-2.1. This a bit of
18 a hack, until a feature like this is built into
19 portage.
