It's been brought to my attention that a bad side effect from using the preserve_old_libs method is that if an intermediary library, like qt3, gets rebuilt then you end up having both expat libraries linked against the kde libraries at the same time which causes rather undesriable crashes. Presumably this will affect GNOME in a similar fashion as well. In summary: there's no good way to do this, and someone is going to have to pick. No matter what, the choice will come with critism. I'm volunteering to take the heat, unless someone beats me to the punch. Caleb -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
