You are wrong at this part. Supporting dots in USE flags is not just a corner case for python |
| 11 |
packages. I planned to suggest the same for a future EAPI, when i got my planned features for |
| 12 |
multilib-portage done (which will then natively support the installation of packages for multiple |
| 13 |
versions of those different lang packages (like python, ruby, php...). While it might be possible to |
| 14 |
read and understand, that 2_5 is intended to be 2.5, it is much easier to understand and read, if |
| 15 |
you just write 2.5. |
