[16:52:33] < SmileR> hmm.. just a though, meanwhile the portage is growing, wont problems like this |
| 4 |
be more and more common, I mean, how about having some kind of virtual package |
| 5 |
system... hmm.. almost like debian, where a package provide ex. imap, but it |
| 6 |
dosent matter what package it is? |
| 7 |
[16:52:54] < rvdp> SmileR: similar prob wit openssh and/or comercial ssh |
| 8 |
[16:53:05] < nils_> SmileR: that exists, for example postfix provides virtual/mta |
| 9 |
[16:53:08] < rvdp> SmileR: yes, "provide" |
| 10 |
[16:53:25] < rvdp> they need to stick it where its needed! |
| 11 |
[16:55:24] < SmileR> nils_: hmm.. maybe all packages that provides a 'service' should be a part of |
| 12 |
the virtual system |
| 13 |
[16:55:45] < nils_> Yes, that would be good |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I think all ebuild developers should have this in mind when they create thier packages. I really can become a HUGE problem if they dont. |
