Description Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-08-16 11:09:58 UTC 
Abstract: like collision-protect feature, freeze-libs is aimed to prevent packages providing new sonames (and triggering preserved-libs, so maybe depending on it) from being merged to system.
This is quite useful for tinderbox-like environments.

The support could be added inside vartree.treewalk(), after self._collision_protect call.


Reproducible: Always

With EAPI 5 sub-slots (bug #192319), we'll also be able to detect things like this during dependency resolution. Maybe the dependency resolution part should be controlled by a separate option. The behaviour could be either to mask the updates (possibly with a warning message), or to halt the dependency calculation with an error (not very friendly).
Comment 2 Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-04-27 09:23:25 UTC 
Yeah, I am fine with how EAPI=5 implements this.
