# Short Desc:  Creates symlink to the latest version of multiple slotted
#              packages.
#
# Long Desc:
#
#  When a package is SLOT'ed, very often we need to have a symlink to the
#  latest version. However, depending on the order the user has merged them,
#  more often than not, the symlink maybe clobbered by the older versions.
#
#  This eclass provides a convenience function that needs to be given a
#  list of alternatives (descending order of recent-ness) and the symlink.
#  It will choose the latest version it can find installed and create
#  the desired symlink.
#
#  There are two ways to use this eclass. First is by declaring two variables
#  $SOURCE and $ALTERNATIVES where $SOURCE is the symlink to be created and
#  $ALTERNATIVES is a list of alternatives. Second way is the use the function
#  alternatives_makesym() like the example below.
#
# Example:
#
#  pkg_postinst() {
#      alternatives_makesym "/usr/bin/python" "/usr/bin/python2.3" "/usr/bin/python2.2"
#  }
#
#  The above example will create a symlink at /usr/bin/python to either
#  /usr/bin/python2.3 or /usr/bin/python2.2. It will choose python2.3 over
#  python2.2 if both exist.
#
#  Alternatively, you can use this function:
#
#  pkg_postinst() {
#     alternatives_auto_makesym "/usr/bin/python" "/usr/bin/python[0-9].[0-9]"
#  }
#
#  This will use bash pathname expansion to fill a list of alternatives it can
#  link to. It is probably more robust against version upgrades. You should
#  consider using this unless you are want to do something special.
#

		#inherit the root directory of our main link path for our regex search
		myregex="${SYMLINK%/*}/${REGEX}"

		myregex=${REGEX}
	fi

	# sort a space delimited string by converting it to a multiline list
	# and then run sort -r over it.
	# make sure we use ${ROOT} because otherwise stage-building will break
	ALT="$(for i in $(echo ${ROOT}${myregex}); do echo ${i#${ROOT}}; done | sort -r)"

	pref=$(echo ${ROOT} | sed 's:/$::')
	shift
	ALTERNATIVES=$@

	# step through given alternatives from first to last
	# and if one exists, link it and finish.
