Honestly, this situation looks like a perfect candidate for slotting |
| 27 |
instead of adding a new feature. If SLOT is setup correctly between |
| 28 |
ebuilds, you could check to be sure it's a specific SLOT. So in your |
| 29 |
case, pkg-1.0.2[a-z] would be slotted with e.g. pkg-1.0.2g:1.0.2. |
| 30 |
Anything depending on it would use `pkg:1.0.2`, and the pkg-1.0.3a |
| 31 |
ebuild could use SLOT="1.0.3" and be called as a dependency via |
| 32 |
`pkg:1.0.3`. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Just my two cents. |
