I dont see how this could/would prevent users that have ~arch keywords |
17 |
from installing gradm-2 when using -sources other than hardened-sources. |

Ok say we have ~arch in our keywords and we are using |
20 |
gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5(grsecurity 1.9.x) and we do emerge world |
21 |
the next time we come back to this box it would end up having >=gradm-2 |
22 |
installed and we would not be able to enable/disable the acl system. |

SLOTS do not seem to properly address who is using what sources. Example |
29 |
ever had a box running apache1 and had ~x86 in your keywords and did |
30 |
'emerge world' portage will override your previous install of apache1 |
31 |
and force you to use apache2 [doh!]. This is my concern with gradm-1 & |
32 |
gradm-2. |
33 |
|
34 |
If you or anybody on this list knows of a way to make this behave |
35 |
correctly with these settings then please by all meens submit your |
36 |
ebuild for gradm-2.0_pre4 (or fix portage so it honors whats installed |
37 |
already when using ~arch flags) |
