Well, for a user it works, but it does not work in terms of providing a cache. |

Normally a cache is built. One thing needed for that is that we can parse |
| 10 |
dependencies. Your dependencies are created in a bash way. That means that a |
| 11 |
cache can not be created because as far as the caching system is concerned |
| 12 |
your cache is dynamic. And worse, there would be no way of detecting this |
| 13 |
dynamic nature. In short putting such an ebuild in the portage tree would |
| 14 |
create hell. |
