Maybe a syntax extension for IUSE would be a little nicer. For example: |
13 |
|
14 |
IUSE="unstable? ( foo bar )" |
15 |
|
16 |
You could emulate this sort of extension in current EAPIs by simply |
17 |
adding IUSE="unstable" and then using that flag to conditionally |
18 |
disable things in *DEPEND, SRC_URI, and ebuild shell code. |
