Description delta407 2003-09-19 06:15:46 UTC
Compare: # emerge apache -p
    These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

    Calculating dependencies ...done!
    [ebuild  N    ] dev-util/yacc-1.9.1-r1  
    [ebuild  N    ] net-www/apache-2.0.47

Versus <http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/net-www/apache.xml>:
    Package name        apache
    Package version     1.3.28

I don't know how the package tracker works, so I can't begin to guess how it got
confused in this matter. Apache is a slotted ebuild and is in unstable for a
number of architectures, but I was under the impression that the tracker worked
with that. Hmm...

Anyway, this is causing the Gentoo distrowatch page to mis-represent the "httpd"
package status. <http://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=gentoo>

The distrowatch.sh script calls the pkglist.py script, and I have *no* idea
who wrote that.  Do you think you could take a look at the pkglist.py script
and see if there's some way we can accomodate slotted ebuilds to report correctly
for distrowatch?

I believe this has been fixed and then also made irrelevant by the new packages.gentoo.org site.

closing bug.
