Howdy, |

I'm curious if there is a way to conditionally package mask. |
4 |
Let me give todays example. |
5 |
|
6 |
Running ~x86. |
7 |
|
8 |
gimp-2.3.9 is installed. |
9 |
|
10 |
gimp-perl-2.2_pre1 has this RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2* |
11 |
|
12 |
So naturally wants to downgrade gimp to 2.2.11-r1. |
13 |
|
14 |
What would be nice is to be able to mask: |
15 |
|
16 |
>=gimp-2.3 if =gimp-perl-2.2_pre1 |
17 |
|
18 |
That would then downgrade gimp to 2.2 and leave it there |
19 |
until the next version of gimp-perl is available. |
20 |
|
21 |
As it is, all I can see to do to prevent upgrade/downgrade |
22 |
cycling of gimp is to package mask >=gimp-2.3 and hopefully |
23 |
remember to unmask it when the next release of gimp-perl |
24 |
is available. |
25 |
|
26 |
It just feels like there ought to be a better way... |
27 |

Thank you, |
