Bug 257158 – dev-php5/symfony - SLOTted major versions

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brandon Turner 2009-01-31 23:22:37 UTC]

The Symfony project (www.symfony-project.org) currently maintains three
versions of their framework, 1.0.19, 1.1.6, and 1.2.2.  1.x versions are
major releases, while 1.x.y versions are normally bug and security fixes.

I would like to suggest that Symfony is slotted.  Many incompatibilities
exist between the 3 major versions and it is common to have existing
code for the 1.0 branch that doesn't function with 1.2, yet want to use
1.2 on new projects.

I've attached 3 modified ebuilds that slot each major version.

These versions are no longer supported upstream.
