Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

See tracker bug 350792.

virtual/blackbox
   packages:
      x11-wm/blackbox
      x11-wm/fluxbox

Please convert to a new-style virtual. Or, since it has only two providers and few dependencies, remove the virtual entirely.

In fact, only some of the x11-misc/bb* packages depend on the virtual. And as was pointed out in the tracker bug, these are not even true dependencies.

Unless there are objections, I'll remove the virtual in one week from now.

Virtual removed.

The only true dependency that I've found was in x11-misc/bbmail. However, this package didn't build with fluxbox, but only with blackbox. I've changed the dependency for bbmail accordingly, and removed it for all other bb* packages.
