package net-misc/hylafax-4.3.0 NOT merged

Detected file collision(s):

 * net-dialup/mgetty-1.1.35-r2:

     '/usr/bin/faxrm'
     '/usr/share/man/man1/faxrm.1.bz2'

versions in ~arch have the same problem

The way I see this bug fixed:
 - add a "fax" USE flag to mgetty, depending on which fax-related stuff is
installed or not
 - hylafax will die in pkg_setup if mgetty with fax support is installed,
asking user to disable fax support in mgetty.
 - mgetty will die in pkg_setup if fax USE flag is enabled and hylafax is
installed

Steve, what is your opinion?

Basically, mgetty can provide either getty support, without fax if hylafax is
installed, or mgetty can handle everything on its own (but only without
Hylafax).  So checking for Hylafax in the mgetty ebuild and removing the
offending binaries if necessary should do it, along with the USE flag for
"nofax" or whatever...

Feel free to implement something if you want, or else I'll get to it shortly
(probably Tuesday or Wednesday).

I've added nofax USE flag to mgetty-1.1.36, which disable installation of fax
related files.

hylafax should have this test added to its pkg_setup:
        if ! built_with_use --missing true net-dialup/mgetty nofax; then
                eerror "net-dialup/mgetty must be installed with USE=nofax"
                die "bla bla"
        fi

I thought we were getting rid of all "no*" USE flags? Can't you invert the
logic and add IUSE="fax" instead?

I want fax support to be enabled by default. Currently there is no way of doing
that.

I've replaced nofax with fax. Thanks for the clue!

 I added the check to the latest hylafax ebuild.  Closing.  Maybe a new round
of stabilisations for mgetty and hylafax?

Hmm... Guess I didn't get to it shortly...  Thanks for taking care of this...
