Bug 315123 – dev-java/java-config and eclasses: support for version globbing of packages

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2010-04-13 21:03:52 UTC]

Sometimes packages depend on another slotted package but doesn't care about particular slot, typically eclipse-ecj. Now we have to fix then to a specific slot in jar-from etc. calls and migrate to a newer slot later. The idea is to add support for stuff like 'eclipse-ecj-*' where packages are specified, which seems to basically boil down to load_package() method in EnvironmentManager.py and updated java-pkg_ensure-dep() in java-utils-2.eclass

Also, packages that will use this feature have to both DEPEND and RDEPEND on java-config version that will implement this, until it's made the default.
