1 Hi,
2
3 the sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild contains
4 DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
5 doc? ( app-text/texi2html virtual/texi2dvi )
6 python? ( dev-lang/swig[python] )
7 octave? ( dev-lang/swig[octave] )"
8
9 What does dev-lang/swig[python] mean?
10 Since dev-lang/swig/swig-1.3.39 does not
11 use the useflags 'python', etc, anymore,
12 emerging sci-libs/mathgl tries to downgrade to
13 swig-1.3.36 which gives conflict elsewhere.
14
15 Do I really need to mask >swig-1.3.36 or
16 is sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild too old?
17
18 Many thanks for a hint.
19 (Should I generate a bug report?)
20
21 Helmut.
