Description Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-20 18:52:12 UTC
Following targets for moves...

kde-base/kicker-applets
kde-base/kdeaddons-kfile-plugins
kde-base/kdebase-data
kde-base/kdewebdev
kde-base/kdenetwork
kde-base/kate-plugins
kde-base/noatun-plugins
kde-base/ksvg
kde-base/konq-plugins

are listed for collapsing a *lot* of packages into.  If they're alternatives
(kernel sources fex, seperated pkgs based on arch), one can slide by; regardless
if upstream has collapsed pkgs together for a certain version, collapsing the
existing pkgs doesn't really fly.

Think about it- does an existing kde-base/kdebase-i10n satisfy the the full
kdebase-data requirements?

Basically... if a new version merges it upstream, deps should abuse || () to
rely on seperated components or the combined version (as you're doing already).

The moves however, are uneeded and aren't particularly proper.

That and we really need a better 'component' for bugs when it's screwwy meta
tree stuff ;)

Closing, was resolved without bug being updated.
