thanks Dirk!  I updated the package.provided file.:wq

[Comment 2 Dirk Schoenberger 2006-03-29 15:37:49 UTC]

could you add something like readline 4.3
readline seems to be  major roadblock for porting because it is pacckage.masked.
So a working readline would be considered positive (given the fact that you would like to see a new flood of ekeywword ~ppc-macos requests ;))

readline is not provided by OSX, only libedit.  So I don't see a good reason to provide readline...

Would it make sense to introduce something like virtual/readline which is implemented by libedit or readline?
Having the problem of not being able to compile / being restricted to prefix or progressive because I have installed a library which I cannot use is not really funny...
