Acoording to this we will never be able to use slot deps in package.mask |
| 35 |
as it's a global file. Given my first mail, can we agree to make EAPI-1 |
| 36 |
the minimum EAPI for files under profiles/ ? Can we also create a rule |
| 37 |
on how / when to update the minimum EAPI in profiles/ ? |
