Description Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-26 02:12:51 UTC 
PROVIDE was removed from both mesa ebuilds that are currently in the tree:

  12 Jul 2006; Donnie Berkholz <dberkholz@gentoo.org>; mesa-6.4.2-r2.ebuild,
  mesa-6.5-r3.ebuild:
  Stop PROVIDE-ing new-style virtuals.

But without revbumps, it won't affect users that had it already installed... only after I remerged mesa (6.4.2-r2) for some other reason, I noticed "update world" wants to merge virtual/glu. IMHO such inconsistency is not desired?

Found the same situation on my system with media-libs/glut vs virtual/glut (provides removed without revbump). And looking at Changelog of media-libs/freeglut, it seems to have that problem too. Tell me if you handle it too (at least freeglut is maintained also by x11) or you want another bug(s).
Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-26 08:20:00 UTC 
Not worth making everyone recompile for an essentially meaningless change, since the change only matters when pulling in deps and not for a proper running system.
