Hi folks, |

while building yum, I again ran into trouble because one |
| 5 |
dependency has to be rebuilt with an specific useflag first |
| 6 |
(in this case it was libxml2 + python useflag). Actually, |
| 7 |
there are *lots* of these cases and (AFAIK) portage has no |
| 8 |
way for properly handling this - it's up to the individual |
| 9 |
ebuilds to check for those situations and artifically breaking |
| 10 |
the build. Of coure, breaking builds are ugly. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
My suggestion: make those language bindings being separate |
| 13 |
packages. So, other packages can depend on them directly, |
| 14 |
instead of the current, build-breaking hack. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I'm not advocating gentoo should do this step alone, but |
| 17 |
instead join in the upstream and solve it there. |
