Some 3rd party modules/products require extensions to python2.1. Bug #13992 should help fix some of that, and it doesn't require that other ebuilds to be modified. It does require that ptyhon extensions need new ebuilds(forked) for the python2.1 slot though. (e.g. egenix-mx-base-py21-2.0.4.ebuild) This way it's possible to emerge an extension to virtual/python and virtual/python-2.1. This a bit of a hack, until a feature like this is built into portage. What do you think? --Jason Shoemaker __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
