Hi list,

recently drscheme changed versioning scheme in such a way that the newer
versions(4.0.1) rank lower than the old versions(372). The only way to affect
ordering is to change the PV part of the filename, preferably the old one, so I
created a 0.372 version that was to be a copy of the old 372 version. To make
this work I also added a

PV=${PV/0./}

to that new ebuild. This is the cleanest way to do it and doesn't require any
variable name changes or any other changes to the ebuild regardless of what it
does. Unfortunately it is also illegal per current PMS as PV is a read-only
variable. Right now I feel that the gain of having PV read-only (catch a few
bugs?) is much lower than the pain (extensive ebuild-dependend changes when the
version scheme changes). Please comment.
