1 Hi,
2
3 I couldn't really follow all that you said, but bug 39246 made a lot more
4 sense. Let me see if I can summarise your requirements...
5
6 For portage's role,
7 * The compiler is slotted
8 * The libraries are slotted against the compiler that was used to compile them
9 * When the compiler is upgraded, all libraries are recompiled with the new
10 compiler
11
12 Then there is a compiler-config proggy that'll set what compiler is currently
13 in use. Does that about sum it up?
14
15 If the compiler wasn't slotted, the compiler-config program wouldn't be
16 necessary and the other two requirements would be easy to satisfy. If it
17 is... Anyway, I'll let you confirm that these are the actual requirements
18 before bouncing around ideas.
