[gentoo-user] question about slotting

[gentoo-user] question about slotting

[Ryan Sims]

Recently finished getting CJK support for KDE done, via a howto in the
wiki.  One of the requirements was to compile qt with the "immqt-bc"
useflag enabled.  I discovered that I have two versions of qt
installed, one in slot 3 and one in slot 4, all well and good.
Version 3.3.6 of qt uses the immqt useflag, while version 4.1.2
doesn't.  When I called emerge --newuse world to get things up to
scratch with my new use flags, qt wasn't there; I had to explicitly
run emerge ~qt-3.3.6 to get it to recompile.  Am I missing something?
I think I get why things get slotted, but it seems like emerge
--newuse ignored the lower slotted version.

I poked through emerge/ebuild/portage man pages, as well as the
developer handbook, couldn't find anything particularly enlightening.

Never argue with an idiot. First, they bring you down to their level.
Then they beat you with experience.
