Description Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-28 02:28:59 UTC
emerging development-sources will only add a virtual/alsa to virtuals if the alsa use 
flag is set at emerge time. The virtual/alsa should always be added because 
development-sources is always capable of providing alsa. 
 
This becomes a problem if a user emerges development-sources and decides to add 
alsa support at a later stage. Emerging any package with alsa support will (attempt) 
to pull in alsa-driver. 
 
mm-sources implements the virtual correctly. 

Reproducible: Always

the correct methos would be the development-sources way, as otherwise it
will not pull correct dependancies when using both 2.6 and 2.4 sources.
I will assign this to myself and fix later today
Comment 2 John Mylchreest (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-28 04:40:59 UTC
actuallt, simply to keep behaviour similar to that of nvidia-kernel i will
make it a strict provide, and force users to manually fulfil by emerging
alsa-driver if using both 2.4 and 2.6
