Bug 467458 – virtual/man: change default to man-db

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description SpanKY 2013-04-27 08:38:35 UTC]

can you run some test stage builds with this change:
-RDEPEND="|| ( sys-apps/man
-        sys-apps/man-db )"
+RDEPEND="|| ( sys-apps/man-db sys-apps/man )"

and make sure everything works out ?

Just built stage1-2-3 on amd64 with this change. No problems found.

Anything blocking this? :)

Given Matt's testing, I'd say nothing.

When changes like this are done without a revbump, binpkgs never pick up the change, which means the official catalyst autobuilds won't pick up the change.

Please revbump on changes to deps.

Do you need it for this concrete case then? In that case, I would commit it directly to stable, the change shouldn't break anything for stable users :/

This is how binpkgs work in gentoo.  If you want this change to matter please revbump.

Thanks.  Just for reference it is for ALL binpkg users, not just catalyst.  binpkgs contain their deps at the time of build, changing after the fact can cause horrific breakages and impossible dep calculation (although in this case the breakage is just pulling the wrong default)
