I may be missing something, but I can't see how this will resolve Carsten's |
| 24 |
issue. From what I can tell, the ebuilds would be laid out something like: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
digikam:DEPEND="|| ( kdelibs:3.5 kdelibs:3.4 ) libkipi libkexif" |
| 27 |
libkipi:DEPEND="|| ( kdelibs:3.5 kdelibs:3.4 )" |
| 28 |
libkexif:DEPEND="|| ( kdelibs:3.5 kdelibs:3.4 )" |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
If all three of those packages were first built against kdelibs:3.4 and then |
| 31 |
kdelibs:3.5 became available then rebuilding any one of them without |
| 32 |
rebuilding the others will break digikam. I can't see how it's directly |
| 33 |
represented in the metadata unless you want to overload the meaning of SLOT. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If overloading, dependencies would be flattened (meaning "|| ( kdelibs:3.5 |
| 36 |
kdelibs:3.4 )" would have became "kdelibs:3.4" for the original install) |
| 37 |
within the installed package database but there's also there's the |
| 38 |
implication that only one slot of a package be allowed in a connected set of |
| 39 |
nodes. Is that what you're getting at? |
