Even worse, it installs them as shared objects!

Comment 2 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-26 09:16:11 UTC
Finally reported upstream.
Comment 3 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-26 09:55:22 UTC
And upstream denied to unbundle...fine :(  Soon it is time to last-rite it...
Comment 4 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2010-09-30 21:04:05 UTC
So why not lastrite it?
Comment 5 Nico Schlömer 2010-10-14 12:05:37 UTC
> And upstream denied to unbundle...fine :(

Indeed.
Well as of now, mpm seems to be the only package manager that can do updates individually. That's very much in the spirit of gentoo, and I like to use it. Maybe it's time to check out app-portage/g-ctan?

Bundling all these libraries is a no-go though. I say +1 for last rites.
Comment 6 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-10-15 08:57:39 UTC
Agreed, last rited.
Comment 7 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-11-16 09:08:42 UTC
Has been removed from tree.
