Re-assign, assignee is retired. The net-misc/mirror package has been removed. |
When installing both packages (net-misc/mirror-2.9 & net-misc/emirror-2.1.21), the file /usr/bin/mirror gets overwritten by the package that is installed last. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-misc/{,e}mirror Actual Results: With the above command, /usr/bin/mirror will be from the emirror package. Expected Results: There should be a way to have both mirror packages on the system at a time. One way might be to use something like update-alternatives from Debian. There, /usr/bin/mirror would be a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mirror which would be a link to /usr/bin/mirror.mirror or /usr/bin/mirror.emirror. This allows the user/admin to easily choose which package to use.
