[gentoo-dev] Commiting of ~arch virtual/* ebuilds causes deptree issues

Hello here,

the virtual/ thingy broke the deptree again with virtual/libstdc++ (see Bug
116253), essentially the same issue like with virtual/x11. These virtuals
need to go straight stable if any of their RDEPEND atoms is stable for a
particular arch.

Betelgeuse is working on a repoman check for this issue, meanwhile, if there
are more virtuals planned, please bear this in mind. :)

Thanks.

Shouldn't it be the reverse? Rather, they need to go stable if anything 
depending on them is stable.

IOW, it doesn't matter if an ~arch virtual depends on stable packages. 
It matters if stable packages depend on an ~arch virtual.

Thanks,
Donnie

So that's like any other package in the tree..

It makes no sense to make a check to verify what seems to be broken
behaviour.  The virtuals should be like any other ebuild in the tree.

True. It was just a quick suggestion on IRC. Maybe I will work on
reverse dependencies instead, or not...

Just to let everyone know, this is not the case.  Treat it like a normal
ebuild and everything will be fine.  If your new "real" virtual is already
an existing virtual used by stable packages, it will of course need to go
stable, but if its brand new, just make sure nothing stable depends on it.

Bug #116253 was invalid due to the user's package.keywords.
