18 I had a look at the ebuild, it doesn't appear to be slotted. So, it is
19 most likely not possible to have both at the same time. The relavant
20 portion:
21
22 LICENSE="|| ( Artistic GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 )"
23 SLOT="0"
24 KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~m68k ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390
25 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd"
26
27 All the ebuilds I looked at had the SLOT="0" which means no slots.
28
29 If I am wrong, someone post and correct me.
