Furthermore, gob-1.99 and up have been masked since July with a note stating that the dependencies on 1.x needed to be corrected. Only gnome-pilot and evolution depend on 1.x (both with >=), and both compile fine with 2.0... Given this result, later versions of gob need not install into a seperate slot. Thus, I believe that gob can also be safely unmasked. (Note, however, that I tested evolution-1.2 and not 1.0.8) For future reference, should similar reports be under component 'Ebuilds', or is this fine? foser@gentoo.org 2002-12-09 12:27:16 0000 this is fine, it is a bug in the current tree not an enhancement... i will look at it soon foser@gentoo.org 2002-12-11 11:47:54 0000 Are you sure you just didnt have both around (i really think you had) ? Anyway, i fixed the gnome-pilot and evolution deps and removed gob2 from package.mask . Thanks for your report synonymousca@yahoo.com 2002-12-11 19:29:36 0000 Did I have both of what around? gob? I used a custom ebuilds which used the same slot when I was testing that stuff, so emerge clean should've gotten rid of all traces of the older version. Not that the SLOT stuff is that important, though.
