hi folks |

in last time, i read emerge output like this pretty often: |
4 |
|
5 |
* |
6 |
* NOTE: This package requires the domxml extension. |
7 |
* To enable domxml, add xml2 to your USE settings |
8 |
* and re-merge php. |

sometimes it's an einfo, sometimes a ewarn and sometimes a eerror, and |
12 |
depending on my use flag, the ebuild fails or not. |
13 |
|
14 |
so what about a new depend atom? i think such a line would be nice: |
15 |
|
16 |
DEPEND="dev-php/php domxml" |
17 |
|
18 |
if we used such a depend atom, we'd need less user interaction and no |
19 |
einfo-workarounds, it'd be a proper way. |
20 |
|
21 |
the problem of course is that portage has to know which use flags every |
22 |
package was built with and that the new depend atom possibly breaks |
23 |
backwards compatibilty. perhaps that could be in the same release as the |
24 |
solution for the MD5 issue? |
25 |
|
26 |
just a thought... |
