Changes made and committed -- thanks! |

There was one interesting observation while I was looking at the |
| 13 |
license for the gtkspell module. gtkspell-2 is licensed GPL-2, but |
| 14 |
gtkspell-3 (which is not yet released and has only recently picked up |
| 15 |
a little steam upstream) is licensed LGPL-2.1. Based on this |
| 16 |
gtkspell-python needs to be conditionally licensed based on which |
| 17 |
version of gtkspell it is linked against (GPL-2 if against gtkspell-2, |
| 18 |
LGPL-2.1 if against gtkspell-3). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Something like: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
if has_version =dev-python/gtkspell-2*; then |
| 23 |
LICENSE="GPL-2" |
| 24 |
else |
| 25 |
LICENSE="LGPL-2.1" |
| 26 |
fi |

There is currently *no* way to express this in an ebuild without |
| 29 |
invalidating the cache. For now this is just a theoretical problem, |
| 30 |
but worthy of consideration nonetheless. |
