Somebody else was ahead of us on it, but I don't know how much progress |
| 17 |
was made on it: |

Coredumb notes that USE flags for sets could prove a problem, and |
| 21 |
unfortunately the same problem would effect this package.env proposal. |
| 22 |
Namely, if you have two entries: |
| 23 |
virtual-set/foo env1 |
| 24 |
virtual-set/bar env2 |
| 25 |
some-cat/foo env3 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
some-cat/foo is present is both sets. |
| 28 |
If some-cat/foo is being merged directly, the settings from the sets |
| 29 |
will be totally ignored - even if we could detect them, which one would |
| 30 |
we use? There are a couple of other similar problem cases with sets and |
| 31 |
any of the portage settings that might be applied per-package :-(. |
