Hi,
thank you _very_ much for the hints. That is far more easier than I
exspected to be allowed to believe ;).
One thing remains:
I found no way to 'provide' a package without a versioning. Is it
possible ?
And:
Let package 'C' depend on package 'B' which depends on package 'A'.
C is installed.
B is in entry in package.provided and installed from external sources.
A is installed.
Now I ran
emerge --depclean -vp
and it suggests to remove C.
Is it possible to take B as provided as an replacement for that
package of the same name inside the portage tree since it uses exactly
the same nameing so it will depend on the same ....hrmmms.... dependencies???
Or am I talking nonsense....?
Best regards,
mcc
