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.
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?
TIA,
Ben

It's saying that your existing openexr (which is a version less than
1.5.0) is blocking ilmbase-1.0.1.
Simply unmerge openexr and remerge the versions you do want.

It does not. It's telling you, that versions prior to openexr-1.5.0
block the installation of ilmbase-1.0.1.

Which will add openexr to your world file. Something you probably don't
want to do. If openexr is being installed as a dependency of something
else, then do
emerge -C <media-libs/openexr-1.5.0 && emerge -uav world
which will sort out the correct versions of everything for you.
