Where does PMS not permit it?? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
8.2: [...] |
| 33 |
An any-of group, which consists of the string ||, followed by |
| 34 |
whitespace, followed by an open parenthesis, followed by whitespace, |
| 35 |
followed by zero or more of (a dependency item of any kind followed by |
| 36 |
whitespace), followed by a close parenthesis. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
"dependency item of any kind" would certainly include atoms with slot |
| 40 |
operators. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
There is also no caveat at all in 8.2.3 that excludes slot operators, |
| 44 |
and 8.2.6.3 also contains no caveat or exclusion of slot operators |
| 45 |
from any-of groups. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Using slot operators within OR deps was intended when EAPI5 was |
| 49 |
introduced. If Portage and other PMs don't handle it well or properly |
| 50 |
then they should be fixed, and perhaps the spec should be refined in |
| 51 |
EAPI7, but that doesn't mean banning it now. |
