Two possible solutions for this: |
| 24 |
1. Have the 'tk' USE flag imply the 'tcl' USE flag. This would cause the |
| 25 |
'tcl? ( tcl ) tk? ( tk )' example to resolve correctly. |
| 26 |
2. the ebuilds doing 'tcl? ( tcl ) tk? ( tk )' are quite clearly wrong, |
| 27 |
as tk is the graphical toolkit for tcl, ergo they should have |
| 28 |
'IUSE="tk"' and that would pull in tcl as well. |
