Subject: [gentoo-dev] Reminder about the need to revision bump virtual providers when migrating to new style virtuals

When migrating to new style virtuals you must revision bump everything
providing the new style virtual to get rid of the PROVIDE files in
/var/db/pkg.

./app-admin/gamin-0.1.7/PROVIDE:virtual/fam

If you do not do this, Portage considers the virtual installed without
actually looking at the new style virtual. In cases where versioning is
not needed this probably does not cause problems but for java this
caused problems like the following:

# emerge -pu world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.5".
(dependency required by "dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2" [ebuild])
