No idea what the original purpose was, but <pkg> and <cat> are |
| 20 |
specified in GLEP 56 [1]: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- Each <flag> XML tag allows 0 or more nested <pkg> XML tags whose |
| 23 |
character data is a valid CP or CPV as defined by the Gentoo |
| 24 |
Development Manual - Ebuild File Format [2]. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
- Each <flag> XML tag allows 0 or more nested <cat> XML tags whose |
| 27 |
character data is a valid category. |
| 28 |

So looks like a version is allowed, but not a slot. |

CCing Cardoe. What was the original intention behind <pkg> and <cat>? |
