Today I wanted to upgrade to the newest stable version of ncurses: ncurses-6.4_p20240330 However, while merging there is a file conflict: /usr/share/terminfo/r/rio This file is installed with the package x11-terms/rio-terminfo (I'm the maintainer of this package on GURU). Is there something wrong with that package that I should fix on my side? Why is there suddenly a file conflict where it was no issue before? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install x11-terms/rio-terminfo (from GURU) 2. Upgrade ncurses to ncurses-6.4_p20240330
That typically just means the separate terminfo package is obsolete, aka ncurses provides it now. Is this the same terminfo or (somehow) something else that just happen to be named the same? You could have whatever package that depends on rio-terminfo instead depend on || ( >=ncurses-ver rio-terminfo ), and have rio-terminfo depend on older ncurses and eventually last-rite that package whenever the required ncurses version is stable.
(or if you'd rather keep it simple, just hard depend on >=ncurses-ver now and get rid of rio-terminfo right away, does mean users may need to accept_keywords newer ncurses for now though)
(In reply to Ionen Wolkens from comment #1) > eventually last-rite that package whenever the required ncurses > version is stable. Err wait, you did say "newest stable", hadn't noticed it is :) Guess I'd just last-rite rio-terminfo and depend on >=ncurses-ver then, can be extended in case people had it in their @world set, mask is useful to tell them to cleanup.

This makes the package x11-terms/rio-terminfo obsolete. Therefore: Masking + softblocking.
