7 I just wanted to point out that people have lately been adding deps like:
8
9 media-libs/libpng:=
10 dev-libs/openssl:=
11
12 That is wrong as it completely ignores the SLOTting of these packages.
13 They need to be:
14
15 media-libs/libpng:0=
16 dev-libs/openssl:0=
17
18 As in, before you add any subslotting to any library, you need to check
19 for it's binary-only SLOTs!

21 Thanks,
