Bug 411281 – x11-proto/xcb-proto-1.7.1 should use EAPI 4 to detect upgrades

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2012-04-08 16:03:22 UTC]

* Please rebuild both libxcb and xcb-util if you are upgrading from version 1.6

With EAPI 4 you can detect if this is the case using REPLACING_VERSIONS

I will commit it next week if nobody disagree

Thanks

Got a patch we can look at?

Would be the following:

+++ xcb-proto-1.8-r3.ebuild	2013-10-07 21:31:33.000000000 +0200
@@ -43,5 +43,7 @@
 }
 
 pkg_postinst() {
-	ewarn "Please rebuild both libxcb and xcb-util if you are upgrading from version 1.6"
+	if [[ ${REPLACING_VERSIONS} < 1.7 ]]; then
+		ewarn "Please rebuild both libxcb and xcb-util if you are upgrading from version 1.6"
+	fi
 }

Looks ok to me.

@x11, any objections?

[Comment 5 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2013-10-07 19:55:37 UTC]

I am not sure if that works, because e.g. [[ 1.10 < 1.7 ]] will evaluate to true, and REPLACING_VERSIONS can contain multiple versions.

Maybe something with has() would be better.

Yeah, I have tried to find some way to handle this but I couldn't :S, I have seen in the tree some ways like relying in versionator eclass for this (used, for example, in postfix ebuilds)
