hangeLog: Stabilize old ABI SLOT version.
readline-4.3_p5.ebuild:SLOT="${PV:0:1}"
readline-5.2_p14.ebuild:SLOT="${PV:0:1}"
readline-6.1.ebuild:SLOT="0"
readline-6.1_p2.ebuild:SLOT="0"
readline-6.2.ebuild:SLOT="0"
readline-6.2_p1.ebuild:SLOT="0"
readline-6.2_p1-r1.ebuild:SLOT="0"
readline-6.2_p4.ebuild:SLOT="0"
it seems to be that in my case readline-5.2_p12-r1 ist installed under SLOT 0.
can i override the slot-variable ?
Regards
