the new vlc ebuilds have SLOT=1 ... should be SLOT=0
(In reply to comment #0) > the new vlc ebuilds have SLOT=1 ... should be SLOT=0 its desired behavior, couldnt get rid of bug #157746, upgrading from 0.8.6c would give you most of modules linked against libvlc.so.0 while it's removed after the upgrade blocking older versions while on the same slot didnt prevent from upgrading I'd be happy to get back to slot 0 if there is any cleaner solution
a `has_version` check in pkg_setup() would allow you to keep from messing with the SLOT as for Bug 157746, it'd be much more sane to just include a fix in the vlc ebuild instead of waiting

I had discarded this solution because I found it less convenient for users, but you're right its probably wiser to not mess with slots > as for Bug 157746, it'd be much more sane to just include a fix in the vlc > ebuild instead of waiting do you mean adding a patch to libtool *after* eautoreconf call ? I think I'll have to ask on libtool ml's for help before, or perhaps hope for a clean fix in a libtool release and depend on it
yes, adding the patch after running autotools i'm not fully up-to-date as to the issue in Bug 157746, but if you e-mail the libtool lists, please cc me so i dont miss it
