In the file /usr/portage/profiles/default-macos/ppc/10.4/package.provided.todo there seem to be a request to provide information about packages provided by MacOSX Tiger. On my system I have the following packages (as far as I could fetch the data) MacOSX 10.4.3 app-editors/emacs-21.2.1 ok app-editors/vim-6.2 ok app-shells/bash 2.05b.0(1) ok app-shells/tcsh-6.12 ok app-text/rcs-5.7 ok app-text/texi2html 1.70 ok net-mail/fetchmail-6.2.5 ok net-misc/efax-0.9a 0.9a-001114 ok sys-devel/automake-1.6.3 ok sys-devel/bison-1.28 ok sys-devel/patch-2.5.8 ok dev-lang/ruby ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0] app-admin/sudo sudo 1.6.8p5 app-arch/gzip 1.3.5 app-arch/tar tar (GNU tar) 1.14 app-arch/unzip UnZip 5.51 app-misc/screen Screen version 4.00.02 app-misc/srm 1.2.8/Apple app-shells/zsh 4.2.3 app-text/enscript 1.6.1 dev-lang/perl 5.8.6 dev-lang/python 2.3.5 dev-libs/openssl 0.9.7g dev-tcltk/expect 5.42.0 dev-util/cscope 15.5 dev-util/cvs 1.11.18 dev-util/diffstat 1.34 dev-util/gperf 3.0.1 mail-filter/procmail 3.22 net-analyzer/tcpdump 3.8.3 net-fs/samba 3.0.10 net-libs/libpcap 0.8.3 net-misc/curl 7.13.1 net-misc/rsync 2.6.3 sys-apps/file 4.10 sys-apps/grep- 2.5.1 sys-apps/groff 1.19.1 sys-apps/less 382 sys-process/lsof 4.73 sys-devel/autoconf 2.59 sys-devel/bc 1.06 sys-devel/distcc 2.0.1-zeroconf sys-devel/flex 2.5.4 sys-devel/gdb 6.1-20040303 (Apple version gdb-413) sys-devel/libtool cctools-590 sys-devel/m4 1.4.2 sys-devel/make 3.80 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

thanks Dirk! I updated the package.provided file.:wq
could you add something like readline 4.3 readline seems to be major roadblock for porting because it is pacckage.masked. So a working readline would be considered positive (given the fact that you would like to see a new flood of ekeywword ~ppc-macos requests ;)) Dirk
readline is not provided by OSX, only libedit. So I don't see a good reason to provide readline...
> readline is not provided by OSX, only libedit. So I don't see a good reason to > provide readline... Would it make sense to introduce something like virtual/readline which is implemented by libedit or readline? Having the problem of not being able to compile / being restricted to prefix or progressive because I have installed a library which I cannot use is not really funny...
