SLOTs have been around a very long time, they were first introduced in portage 1.8.9_pre1, released 5 Feb 2002. Before SLOTs were introduced, all versions of a package were effectively in a different SLOT; this meant that portage would not remove an older version of a package just because you installed a newer version. At that time, portage did not have any collision-protect mechanism (or so it appears). - -- Jonathan Callen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXFEsnAAoJEEIQbvYRB3mghrMP/jWD4xmikITRQ3UYRnTE/3t3 ZAXQqbv2PyBnu5D2tQ4QYBYiO7pfLGNMu+9nWbaI/q/LgflhqXDf5T5bTQClBkTv 1IhF58J61xQMewI2/dQbhdzbuzUvPakC6SOoRUrM6awMwcqUUOXxlqWpexNZudOW FxrumkO+ohG/VfER0h7Cobp95tT4p6NpQNXhtncoFJekE/Fkqvzov2b+RPOnkQKL 3FCfkByoW/UvmXw0Vt7V0DIaI4MPixe5MyG7b4NkWy3/IaesYZye+1UX+B6rKH1Y 6fSNbkWkKm5O3APGkymVnxTtrQu14+RyfEXFMkGget7TlV3QihO4pJG7HlCzEzc+ v3P+BudoW8s3XKP+IDCjhvlCHHhilLO2CgJiFV73zFtxp1gOIgb86HHtnDIw/htm WpmvsA3hRSzr9xlj1j1shOl/fI7swPivSG7Tcl3x8THmgixZRp652m59AszPoog3 oGLEsjUlggHL/MSSTHgSRnzMWiAClD+Llx/3QG4mpB6VSJID03Q4v/F/myyElNDs cbnicePXD6lLfDJGhEZtV42YkKc2N2CV5aBmW+EWHR7hqLAmNepO6Olb2xIe8MJV YGRDIWmNj2EueUZSw3+XM/y3oU3Oh05wkaj4L3wQMFt1Jvfaxf4z44c+ZME0nZ+1 hqg1Qvlc98SYvhRqhChh =q+FB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
