New package location for dependency parted in gentoo portage

[Talamona Francesco]

Parted has been moved from sys-apps/parted to sys-block, please update the ebuild accordingly.

BTW the version is actually newer than 2.2.9, but the current naming scheme breaks "gentoo standards", anyway that's another issue.

The same goes for mindi

Seems to me it's already correct at ​http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/projects/mondorescue/pbconf/branches/2.2.9/mondo/ebuild/mondo-rescue.ebuild

So I don't know why you still get that old version. (the delivered version seems ok too: ​ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/gentoo/nover/mondo-2.2.9.4-1.ebuild)

Both the counterexamples provided list parted as sys-apps/parted, but is no more there, I sync every day the portage tree and an error came up Sunday because parted was "moved". The last edit to the ebuild is (according

to the date in FTP folder listing) 09/06/2010.

Mondo ebuilds still have the old location, and that gives an error (even if mondo is already installed) when a check is done to see if are there packages to upgrade. The issue is open, see at the bottom of the following text, the location parted is reported to reside in is different from the one written in the ebuilds.

Sorry, I looked at the patch, more than I read your text. In fact your patch does the reverse that what you say ! So I've modified now the file accordingly. Cf: ​http://trac.project-builder.org/changeset/1084

Will be in next 2.2.9.5 for gentoo builds. Thanks for your feedback !

D'oh :), my report was misleading. I was surprised by the reply, now it makes sense. Thanks Bruno
