Description Geert Bevin 2002-02-04 09:48:40 UTC

Implement binary compatibility slots. Install a package as
/var/db/pkg/cat/${PN}-${SLOT} where slot is by default ${PV} (ensures that for
every version, only one rev will exist by default). If ${SLOT} is "" or "0", the
package is installed as /var/db/pkg/cat/${PN}
