1 Some packages, have patches from external sources, enabled/disabled by
2 USEs combinations.
3 one for all iptables, it has an IUSE="ipv6 static extensions".
4 The "extensions" use enables patches from "l7" , "grsecurity" and
5 an "imq".
6 iptables 1.3 is out from few days, but the patches (at least "l7")
7 apply only to 1.2.9 sources.

9 If the developer want to keep the extensions inside the iptables-1.3 he
10 must wait for releases that apply to 1.3 version.
11 may be doable instead of waiting an alternative solution like:
12
13 use "extensions" && KEYWORDS="-*"
14
15 or if this break portage cache implement some work-around that make it
16 possible a similar syntax?
17 the wanted result is to have portage select the best version that
18 fullfill your requirements.
