So I've started to see the proliferation of manual || structures for USE deps, |
| 2 |
where virtuals would normally be used, but it seems that either USE deps from |
| 3 |
the virtuals aren't propogated down to the packages themselves, or developers |
| 4 |
aren't aware of said propagation. |

DEPEND="... |

|| ( |

>=dev-db/mysql-5.0.76-r1[embedded?,-minimal] |
| 9 |
>=dev-db/mysql-community-5.0.77-r1[embedded?,-minimal] |
| 10 |
) |
| 11 |
..." |

dev-db/mysql-community will be dropped later this year, however before then |
| 14 |
there will be 3 other variants added, all of which need to go into |
| 15 |
virtual/mysql: |
| 16 |
dev-db/mysql-cluster |
| 17 |
dev-db/mariadb |
| 18 |
dev-db/mysql-ourdelta |
| 19 |

Suggestions on the actual problem source, and potential solutions welcome? |
