My only concern is about consistency. IE the portage backend (if I |
| 22 |
recall correctly) should return all matching nodes; emerge would then |
| 23 |
take that list and find the first one that matches in the vdb. However |
| 24 |
it becomes a bit difficult sometimes because emerge may do this vdb |
| 25 |
preference but say, portageq, may not. |
