Hi list, I'd like to propose a new eclass "db-use-r1" [1]. While working on the dev-libs/Ice package I found it to fail with sys- libs/db:6.0 (see [2]) and I have found no way to use current db-use.eclass to make Ice compile against an older sys-libs/db slot if db:6.0 is installed.
So I'd like to ask for a review of the new eclass which has a few important changes compared to the old db-use.eclass: - It requires ebuilds using the eclass to define DB_VERSIONS variable - It provides avariable DB_DEPEND containing all possible db:slot versions a package can use - db_findver() no longer blindly returns latest installed sys-libs/db version. it now returns the best version from DB_VERSIONS if any is installed. I'd like to commit this eclass into portage in about a week if no veto appears. Thanks Lars [1] http://dev.gentoo.org/~polynomial-c/db-use-r1.eclass [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/476378
