Correct syntax, you say? |

Sometimes a particular version of a package is needed. Where this is |

Sometimes you want to be able to depend on general |
| 39 |
versions rather than specifying exact versions all the time. |
| 40 |
Hence we provide standard boolean operators: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Examples: |
| 43 |
>media-libs/libgd-1.6 |
| 44 |
>=media-libs/libgd-1.6 |
| 45 |
=media-libs/libgd-1.6 |

<=media-libs/libgd-1.6 |

<media-libs/libgd-1.6 |

PMS does not define what a valid atom looks like, except that it |
| 52 |
somehow doesn't describe atoms to begin with, apparently because that |
| 53 |
has yet to be replaced with something better, or is perhaps up to the |
| 54 |
PM to define. Where the PM is sys-apps/portage, the syntax that someone |
| 55 |
with the correct privileges managed to add to bugs.gentoo.org without |
| 56 |
any reconciliation with the community. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
As long as this is not resolved: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
# emerge -vp net-misc/youtube-dl-2017.05.01 |
| 61 |
!!! 'net-misc/youtube-dl-2017.05.01' is not a valid package atom. |
| 62 |
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
and as long as this works: |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
# emerge -vp =net-misc/youtube-dl-2017.05.01 |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
[ebuild U ~] net-misc/youtube-dl-2017.05.01::gentoo |
| 71 |
[2017.04.26::gentoo] USE="offensive {-test}" |

I suggest these privileged people try to come to their senses and stop |
| 78 |
appropriating bits of the Gentoo Project because of differences in |
| 79 |
opinion. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
I also suggest that the people who half finished the work on getting |
| 82 |
the Package list going also finish the work and implement rigorous |
| 83 |
checks for sys-apps/portage compliance, which would actually help |
| 84 |
present automated target lists to test systems that don't need |
| 85 |
any mangling, ever again. |

PS: It might be a week before I feel like reading the "don't touch my |

| 94 |
stuff while you work out what's wrong with your attitude. |
