- Before this commit, nothing pulls in app-alternatives/sh, so we're relying on
app-shells/bash handling /bin/sh as an orphaned symlink (which is one of the
big
things we're trying to move away from).
- Add in the others (app-alternatives/{awk,bzip2,gzip,tar}) to allow setup
via /etc/portage/package.use without adding these to @world manually,
this also lays the ground work for at some point removing specific
implementations
in the future (after making sure ebuilds which need specific impls. depend on
them).
- Note that there's two exceptions:
1. app-alternaitves/yacc
No need to explicitly add into @system, because we previously had
virtual/yacc
so it'll get pulled in by ebuild dependencies anyway.
2. app-alternatives/lex
We never had virtual/lex before and packages very often explicitly
depend on sys-devel/flex. But this isn't a big deal given it's very
unlikely
that a user wants to try modify lex yet and reflex is still very new as an
option in Gentoo.
That is, as time goes on and we test more to ensure it works with any lex,
it'll get pulled in as various ebuilds get updated anyway.
