FWIW, I've already filed a bug, and had it marked invalid, due to this, because it was using xml for xml2, despite the fact that use.desc still insists that xml is for the v1 library only. At this point (well, the point as of yesterday when I last synced, anyway), app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.1 doesn't agree with use.desc. Having a "(merging with xml2)" note in there while it was done would have avoided an unnecessary/invalid bug spam. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

[gentoo-dev] Binary packages
Anyone that is maintaining a binary package in the tree, and requires libstdc++-v3, please put a rdepend in your package on =virtual/libstdc++-3.3. I'd like to drop the dependency from gcc-3.4 and higher so that we do not needlessly force the libstdc++ package on people that do not need it.

It was my understanding that it is needed for the 3.3 -> 3.4 upgrade. Various packages that will build fine against either are broken until being recompiled after the upgrade and there is currently no way to express this with dependencies. -- Jason Stubbs -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

You need either gcc-3.3 or libstdc++-v3. I don't see forcing either upon our users to be a good thing. The upgrade doc covers how to do the 3.3->3.4 upgrade, and I think most archs are on 3.4 at this point. -- Mark Loeser - Gentoo Developer (cpp gcc-porting toolchain x86) email - halcy0n AT gentoo DOT org mark AT halcy0n DOT com web - http://dev.gentoo.org/~halcy0n/ http://www.halcy0n.com pgpDBHZGkZthv.pgp Description: PGP signature

If the there's an upgrade doc and 3.4 postinst points to it, no problem. I take it the dependencies you're asking about is for binary-only (or other?) packages that specifically depend on 3.3 then? -- Jason Stubbs -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Nothing should explicitly depend on gcc-3.3 to compile. If that is the case, let me know and I'll try and patch the package. I am specifically asking for binary only packages that require libstdc++-v3 to depend on the virtual/libstdc++-3.3.
