[gentoo-dev] Binary packages

Anyone that is maintaining a binary package in the tree, and requires
libstdc++-v3, please put a rdepend in your package on
=virtual/libstdc++-3.3.  I'd like to drop the dependency from gcc-3.4 and
higher so that we do not needlessly force the libstdc++ package on people
that do not need it.

Thanks,

It was my understanding that it is needed for the 3.3 -> 3.4 upgrade.
Various packages that will build fine against either are broken until
being recompiled after the upgrade and there is currently no way to
express this with dependencies.

You need either gcc-3.3 or libstdc++-v3.  I don't see forcing either upon our
users to be a good thing.  The upgrade doc covers how to do the 3.3->3.4
upgrade, and I think most archs are on 3.4 at this point.

Ok. If the there's an upgrade doc and 3.4 postinst points to it, no problem.
I take it the dependencies you're asking about is for binary-only (or other?)
packages that specifically depend on 3.3 then?

Nothing should explicitly depend on gcc-3.3 to compile.  If that is the
case, let me know and I'll try and patch the package.  I am specifically
asking for binary only packages that require libstdc++-v3 to depend on the
virtual/libstdc++-3.3.

The doc is in the gcc-3.4 postinst:

gcc-3.3 wont be removed automatically, so the system wont break until the user 
tells it so :)
