For BitTorrent, the ebuild But they do. We already have few ebuilds with identical names in the tree (in different categories of course). I don't remember specifics, just that this was coming up in prior similar discussions and I think there are on an order of 10 of them.. Just pointing out "the fact of life" that we would have to be careful about when having to deal with actual reorganization. IIRC, some of them were emacs modules having the same name as the language or some such, for which they provided special emacs mode. And there were angry users when I had to rename ebuilds to avoid name clashes (f.e. balsa (the "oroginal" one, actually was created before the well known gnome app) => tbass). So this may not be as simple as it seems... George -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
