Yes, Will you break already installed things like the careless |
| 26 |
openmotif downgrade? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The problems it caused was that it explicitly broke emacs and other |
| 29 |
things on users installed systems, by removing binary functionality when |
| 30 |
the openmotif downgrade went through. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
There currently exists no real framework for dealing with this, other |
| 33 |
than to bump all software that depends on the library in question with a |
| 34 |
revision to force a recompile to make it work again post-install. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Its unpretty, massive and bad.. i think we need to fix this, soon. |
| 37 |
portage-ng seems another year into the future with all the |
| 38 |
requirements, so I'm not sure its the right thing to put it off for. |
