Hmm - how about distributing a set of "compiled" ebuilds with the grp |
| 8 |
that have things like RDEPEND="dev-libs/openssl" replaced with |
| 9 |
RDEPEND="dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7-r1", and putting these in |
| 10 |
/usr/local/portage? Such a compilation would be pretty easy even without |

It's not ideal - in this example, a user with openssl-0.9.7 is going to |
| 14 |
be annoyed - but it does seem to fulfil your requirements. |
