Bug 358895 – Remove old-style virtual/ooo

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ulrich Müller 2011-03-14 15:20:12 UTC]

See tracker bug 350792.

virtual/ooo
   packages:
      app-office/libreoffice
      app-office/libreoffice-bin
      app-office/openoffice
      app-office/openoffice-bin

Please convert to a new-style virtual.

Note: The virtual prefers app-office/openoffice-bin in the base profile and app-office/openoffice in the arch/powerpc and arch/sparc subprofiles. This shouldn't be a problem for conversion to new-style, since openoffice-bin isn't keyworded for these architectures.

Just to not mess up: So basically this involves...

*) Adding a new virtual/ooo package
*) Removing the PROVIDE line from all the packages

Right? Something else to do?

Also: What about profiles/base/virtuals? Do I have to change something there?

And: Would I mess something up by setting libreoffice-bin as default (in virtual/ooo) and how should I do that anyway? (simply rank as first in virtual/ooo I guess, right?)

Would be thankful for advice...

Right. And see below.

You should remove the line with virtual/ooo from the "virtuals" files in _all_ subprofiles.

I don't think so.

Yes, simply put the preferred provider first in the list.

I've now done all that, hope I didn't break anything, fingers crossed ;-) Closing
