Description Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-03-17 07:56:45 UTC 
fftw3 introduced new API (and header & library files have different names). Therefore, it should be a separate ebuild. Otherwise, ebuilds that depend on (old) fftw will fail when fftw upgraded to >= 3.0.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-17 10:31:53 UTC 
That's what SLOTs are for, side-by-side installations. fftw-3 does not remove fftw-2.

donnie@supernova donnie $ grep ^SLOT /usr/portage/dev-libs/fftw/fftw-*
/usr/portage/dev-libs/fftw/fftw-2.1.3-r1.ebuild:SLOT="2.1"
/usr/portage/dev-libs/fftw/fftw-2.1.5-r1.ebuild:SLOT="2.1"
/usr/portage/dev-libs/fftw/fftw-2.1.5.ebuild:SLOT="2.1"
/usr/portage/dev-libs/fftw/fftw-3.0.1.ebuild:SLOT="3.0"
Comment 2 Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-03-18 00:26:11 UTC 
What's good is this for if e.g. media-gfx/grace depends on fftw? ( >=dev-libs/fftw-2.1.3 ) and hence will happily try to build (and fail using FFTW) if fftw-3.01 is installed?!
Comment 3 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-18 00:36:55 UTC 
Then this is a bug for grace, not for fftw.
Re-assigning and changing summary.
Comment 4 Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-03-18 07:55:49 UTC 
Why then there are e.g. separate dev-libs/hdf and dev-libs/hdf5?
Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-18 08:37:58 UTC 
I wish there wasn't.

That's a broken dependency. It should be done in the same way as gtk+-1 and gtk+-2. I've fixed this.
