There's also bug 251179[1], which is ugly at first glance, but shows |
| 11 |
that we don't really need an extra variable to control dependencies |
| 12 |
between USE-flags (it *is* after all a dependency). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So, we can either use |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
use1? ( =${CATEGORY}/${PVR}[use2,use3,use4] ) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
which will probably require less changes to portage's resolver; or |
| 19 |
something else like |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
use1? ( use2 use3 use4 ) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The latter is unambiguous because it's not a package atom (no / ). |
| 24 |
Either of these will work great when portage gets automatic |
| 25 |
USE-dependency enabling. |
