Subject: [gentoo-user]  package.provided syntax
Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2006 11:58:39 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pskz4fqo.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)

I'm currently trying to get thru an emerge -vuD world but having
various things crop up.  Some I thought were handled long ago like
this overlooking what is in package.provided:

  rsnapshot-1.2.2
  bacula-1.48.5
  cvs-emacs-24

The last two are fake versions so they would stay ahead of what ever
comes into portage for a while.  My understanding is that portage
looks here, and if the version is newer it by passes these packages.

So this should not happen:

emerge -vuDp app-editors/emacs-cvs
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

  Calculating dependencies... done!
  [ebuild U ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 [22.0.50] USE="X gif
  gtk jpeg nls png spell -Xaw3d -tiff" 0 kB

Oh, and why is `tiff' turned off (-tiff)?
