I went to update my system (emerge world -vuDNp) and noticed a block by openexr (being updated) on ilmbase (new package). So, I was wondering what they are and which one I should be using.
media-libs/openexr-1.6.1 [1.4.0a] Update! media-libs/ilmbase-1.0.1 New! <media-libs/openexr-1.5.0 blocking ilmbase-1.0.1 URL: http://www.openexr.com/ I noticed they are both ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) file format stuff, and that OpenEXR split back in December 2006 into three packages: ilmbase 0.9, OpenEXR 1.5, OpenEXRViewers 0.9. And then in August everything upgraded to 1.0, 1.6, 1.0 respectively; with a further update in October to 1.0.1, 1.6.1, 1.0.1 respectively. So okay - openexr 1.4.0a needs to be removed and openexr 1.6.1 installed instead with ilmbase 1.0.1 also installed, no? But then why is emerge wanting to install openexr 1.5 too? But what's the best way to do the update? I could just unmerge (emerge -C) openexr and then do the update, and remerge openexr afterwards if need be. Or is there a better way?
