I suggest you unmerge openbox-2.3.1. I don't see any pressing reason to revert the slot. Moving the slot back would cause larger problems IMO, closing the bug. I don't know about slots, but the bug (i.e. both versions install their main executable as /usr/bin/openbox) still needs fixing. How about installing ob3 as /usr/bin/openbox-3? Until there are automagic tools for migrating the configuration files (i.e. ob2/epist rc/menu) and not just the themes, users who "accidentally" (e.g. via emerge -Du world) upgrade to ob3 experience the shock of their desktops not working as expected. Unfortunately, unmerging ob3 breaks ob2. Of course, that's relatively easily fixed by remerging ob2, but I'd personally much prefer a proactive approach which avoids parallel ebuilds overwriting each other's files. |
