For accuracy and peace of mind regardless of how often conflicts could |
| 10 |
happen. I want to write rules in /etc/portage/package.* and specify |
| 11 |
dependencies in ebuilds without minding that one atom expression could |
| 12 |
unexpectedly match another package version on later time. I can't |
| 13 |
give any example yet, but we know that if pkg-4.1.2 exists and |
| 14 |
pkg-4.10.0 exists as well, then we can't use '=pkg-4.1*' to only |
| 15 |
target pkg-4.1.*. This could also happen more often with packages |
| 16 |
having 4 version numbers. |
