Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2012-06-17 18:54:56 UTC
We currently get this message:

WARN: postinst
Neon has a policy of breaking API across minor versions, this means
that any package that links against Neon may be broken after
updating. They will remain broken until they are ported to the
new API. You can downgrade Neon to the previous version by doing:

  emerge --oneshot '<net-libs/neon-0.29'

You may also have to downgrade any package that has not been
ported to the new API yet.

But:
1. If any other package in the tree requires older versions, probably neon should be slotted
2. Most of the problems would be solved simply running revdep-rebuild, no?
3. Newer neon versions should be stabilized when depending packages are ported to new API

Thanks

Reproducible: Always
