Description Pietro Franchi 2005-12-17 04:29:00 UTC

After today sync lazarus still requires fpc-2.0.0_rc2, but that ebuild isn't in portage anymore.  This breaks emerge -uD world if you have lazarus in your world file.

Please, check other ebuilds' deps before punting old versions...

Quick change of platform in bugzilla. Sorry about the email.

Nothing to with Lazarus I have. Just to note that it's in the wrong category. dev-lang/ is solely for programming languages, not utilities, ide's, whatever.

Comment 4 Renato Caldas 2005-12-17 07:04:02 UTC

Lazarus ebuilds have been giving all sorts of problems regarding deps versions simply because they always use the "=" operator instead of the ">=" for deps. 

Forgive me if I'm insulting anyone, but that's pure stubborness, as I have pointed the problem out several times, and the answer has always been "that's solved now: I've upgraded the version on the ebuild". But the "=" is still there, and every time a new version of fpc comes out, even if a new rc, lazarus gets broken.

Please correct the problem once and for all! Thanks.

Sorry, my fault... *sigh* didn't expect these weird hardcoded deps.
