If API compatibility is guaranteed, a virtual makes more sense than a |
| 10 |
useflag. However, even with this assumption, it's not possible these |
| 11 |
days, because we need to: |
| 12 |
- Fix || ( a:= b:= ) deps handling in package managers (hey dynamic |
| 13 |
deps :) ) |
| 14 |
- Create transitive := deps (useful for other things than virtuals, hey |
| 15 |
ocaml & haskell). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So yeah, because of lack of better solution this seems to be the best |
| 19 |
method so far. |
