First of all, this is a short patch for a function, not a full eclass. |
| 21 |
Further, people are doing this sort of thing already (printing |
| 22 |
messages to say "if you want support for x, install y," this is just |
| 23 |
making it easier to do so. Of course full support for an SDEPEND |
| 24 |
variable would be much better, but unless you have a patch for that |
| 25 |
ready to go for the next EAPI I don't see that happening anytime soon, |
| 26 |
so a short function in eutils seems like a reasonable choice to me. |
