Hi all (especially package owners in CC), |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In various packages we have inconsistent use of || preferences for |
| 4 |
www-client/elinks, links, lynx, w3m, and w3mmee. This means that the |
| 5 |
default preference depends on the combination of packages that one has |
| 6 |
installed and the order that one has installed them, leading to |
| 7 |
unpredictable results. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Here is a list of relevant packages and their dependencies: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
app-text/docbook-sgml-utils: || ( www-client/lynx www-client/links |
| 12 |
www-client/elinks virtual/w3m ) |
| 13 |
app-text/sgmltools-lite: || ( www-client/w3m www-client/lynx ) |
| 14 |
app-text/xmlto: || ( virtual/w3m www-client/lynx www-client/elinks ) |
| 15 |
dev-lang/mono: || ( www-client/links www-client/lynx ) |
| 16 |
mail-client/mutt: || ( www-client/lynx www-client/w3m www-client/elinks ) |
| 17 |
mail-client/neomutt: || ( www-client/lynx www-client/w3m www-client/elinks ) |
| 18 |
net-irc/irssi: || ( www-client/lynx www-client/elinks ) |
| 19 |
sys-fs/gt5: || ( www-client/links www-client/elinks www-client/lynx ) |
| 20 |
x11-base/xorg-server: || ( www-client/links www-client/lynx www-client/w3m ) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
How about if we create some more virtuals to cover all of the relevant |
| 23 |
cases? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
We've already got virtual/w3m to cover this particular case: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|| ( www-client/w3m www-client/w3mmee ) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
We might want to use nested virtuals, in the same way that virtual/jdk |
| 30 |
nests under virtual/jre. |
