Ok, first it's not about paludis,portage,pkgcore,whatever but about the |
| 18 |
ebuild-format. Paludis also fails if you have DEPEND="cat/foo[moo]" in |
| 19 |
bar-0.1.ebuild but cat/foo doesn't have a "moo" USE flag. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So, please let's focus on the problems we have and try to find a |
| 22 |
solution. Please fill in the blanks in the table if you know how portage |
| 23 |
has it implemented. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And I used the word "fast" because people start to use use-dependencies |
| 26 |
on a larger scale leading to more problems like the one I described in |
| 27 |
the example. In fact, you could already say that for git the dep-tree is |
| 28 |
broken because newer subversion doesn't carry the "dso" USE flag |
| 29 |
anymore. |

Well, 2 weeks discussion and 1 month implementation would be cool. |
