A "DEPEND atom" is the term used in the portage(5) and ebuild(5) man pages to |

describe an expression of the type: ">=app-sci/emboss-2.9.0" (a category and |

a package, with optional logical operator and version). It is the syntax used |
| 4 |
in the ebuilds' "DEPEND" variable, and in many Portage configuration files, |
| 5 |
such as "package.use". |
