Tonight I asked remi if I could clean up some old gtkhtml-3 slots and here is the result of a first check:

$ ~/Projets/gentoo/slot-checker.py gnome-extra/gtkhtml | sort | uniq 

app-text/gnomesword-2.1.7 matches 4 slots (3.6, 3.2, 3.14, 3.8) with dep =gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3*
dev-php5/php-gtk-2.0.0 matches 2 slots (3.14, 3.8) with dep >=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.10.0
dev-php5/php-gtk-2.0.1 matches 2 slots (3.14, 3.8) with dep >=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.10.0
mail-client/balsa-2.3.22 matches 5 slots (3.6, 3.2, 2, 3.14, 3.8) with dep gnome-extra/gtkhtml

media-sound/solfege-3.10.3 matches 5 slots (3.6, 3.2, 2, 3.14, 3.8) with dep >=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-2
media-sound/solfege-3.10.4 matches 5 slots (3.6, 3.2, 2, 3.14, 3.8) with dep >=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-2
media-sound/solfege-3.8.2 matches 5 slots (3.6, 3.2, 2, 3.14, 3.8) with dep >=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-2

This bug is intended to inform you that it is probably not right for preserving consistent state of linking binaries upon a random gtkhtml slot removal to allow your ebuilds to select any slots.

I intend to get through the list of ebuild listed here to make them use the most recent slot unless there is any objection or you beat me to it.

Sorry to burst your bubble but ...

$ ~remi/Projets/gentoo/slot-checker.py gnome-extra/gtkhtml | sort | uniq
Package ebuild src: dev-dotnet/gtkhtml-sharp-1.0.10 matches 2 slots (3.2, 3.14) with dep =gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.2*
Package ebuild src: dev-dotnet/gtkhtml-sharp-2.16.0 matches 2 slots (3.2, 3.14) with dep =gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.2*
Package ebuild src: dev-dotnet/gtkhtml-sharp-2.8.2 matches 2 slots (3.2, 3.14) with dep =gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.2*

After checking with portage gurus, gtkhtml-sharp should not be using "3.2*" since this atom does indeed match both "3.2.5" and "3.24.2". This package is a prime candidate for slotted deps.

Have fun :D

fixed gtkhtml-sharp by using slotted deps, approved by loki_val.
