Summary says it all, it seems they can be slotted easily as binary has different names. I have ebuild in local overlay that needs premake 3.x and came across this. Reproducible: Always More info: http://industriousone.com/post/what-about-version-3 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60960#c25 Also. there is a bug in premake 3.5 in tree: 1520012: Improper Makefiles when filenames have spaces This prevents an ebuild I am working on in my local overlay to function as some of the paths have spaces. Is it possible to bump to 3.7 as well please? Thanks.
I agree, this should be slotted. We recently came across a package in #gentoo-dev which also needs 3.7 and does not work with 3.5 so +1 for a) slot premake b) add 3.7 to the tree
#gentoo-dev-help I mean :o
I have 2 gentoo machines, one with premake-3.7, the other with premake-4.3. When I try to install jost from the pro-audio overlay, it work with 3.7, but fail with 4.3 with error cannot find command premake # equery f premake * Searching for premake ... * Contents of dev-util/premake-3.7: /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/premake /usr/lib /usr/lib/debug /usr/lib/debug/usr /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/premake.debug # equery f premake * Searching for premake ... * Contents of dev-util/premake-4.3: /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/premake4 That imply than not only they are not compatible but they don't install the same files and can be easily slotted.
Created attachment 343644 [details, diff] patch to slot premake-3.5 and 4.3

@ Aaron ...did you lost interest in this package? I could help if you want otherwise please comment here what is your opinion on this problem
If I knew it was so easy to slot the package, I wouldn't have put it off for so long. I'll get to it later today. @hasufell, I only have a mild interest in premake. I don't actually have any packages which need it nor do I have any private projects that I use it in. Feel free to add yourself to maintainers.
yeah, I doubt any gentoo dev would use this voluntarily for his own project :P
