Subject: [gentoo-dev] Beta versions should be slotable
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 15:29:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7B97065F451A23458ED0C63B4CA5A2EA7C4A6C@SRV-EXCHANGE.AUTOonline.local> (raw)
Hi folks,
I like to try bleeding edge beta versions. But I hate that if I will
install for example the new firefox 2 beta via portage, it will unmerge
the current stable version. I would prefer to have a stable version for
daily work and the beta version for testing purposes at the same time on
my system. Therefore I would propose to introduce a policy, which forces
each ebuild with the suffix _alpha, _beta or _pre have to be slotable.
Best Regards
Sebastian Noack
