If there's a way to get portage to work better without this kind of |
| 14 |
splitting, I'd much rather see that happen. Perhaps SLOTting by what |
| 15 |
it's built for (apache-1/2)? I'm not real clear on the current |
| 16 |
situation. |

Splitting in this way really goes against the whole idea of portage |
| 19 |
allowing us to integrate versioned packages into one using a combination |
| 20 |
of USE flags, SLOTs and other tools. |
