1 Hello all,
2
3 There is a discepancy in the way that mm-sources and development-sources
4 handles virtual/alsa. Have a look:
5
6 bash-2.05b$ grep alsa /usr/portage/sys-kernel/development-sources/
7 development-sources-2.6.0_beta5-r11.ebuild
8 IUSE="alsa"
9 [ -n "$(use alsa)" ] && PROVIDE="${PROVIDE} virtual/alsa"
10
11 bash-2.05b$ grep alsa /usr/portage/sys-kernel/mm-sources/
12 mm-sources-2.6.0_beta5-r4.ebuild
13 virtual/alsa"
14
15 In other words, development-sources will provide virtual/alsa only if the use
16 flag is set when it is emerged. mm-sources, however, will provide virtual/
17 alsa regardless. Which is the correct behaviour?
18
19 Personally, I think mm-sources is the better option. The reason being if a
20 user decides to use alsa after emerging development-sources by adding alsa to
21 the use flags, portage will see no virtual/alsa and try and pull in
22 alsa-driver.
23
24 Any opinions before I post a bug?

26 Regards,
