If you want portage to warn you about overwritting files, have a look at FEATURES="collision-protect". It seems that the ruby USE flag is only present with rddtool-1.2.23-r1, so with older versions of of rddtool it still makes sense to have ruby-rdd around, especially since the stable version of rddtool is still 1.2.15-r3. If the ruby bindings have now been folded into the main distribution then rddtool-1.2.23-r1 should probably block ruby-rdd-1.1 and vice versa. ruby-rdd can then be removed from the tree when there is a stable version of rddtool with the ruby USE flag. netmon folks: can you confirm this scenario so that we can add the blockers, or am I overlooking something? feel free to add whatever needed :) I've added the blocker to rrdtool-1.2.23-r1 (only if the ruby USE flag is active). As far as I can tell that should be enough to start resolving this situation. Once rrdtool has been stable for some time and the old versions have been removed we should probably administer last rites to dev-ruby/ruby-rrd. |
