I think net-im/ekiga should block gnomemeeting as ekiga is the new version of gnomeeting. Also, I think a dummy ebuild should be made for gnomemeeting to upgrade to ekiga (so this changes ekiga blocking gnomemeeting versions prior to this).

Why? Do they collide?

No, putting dummy stuff to the tree to work around portage limitations is simply wrong.

I will rather try to get ekiga out of package.mask and mask gnomemeeting instead. Watch out for a solution.

this is RESOLVED, NOTABUG
