virtual/gettext-runtime or the like? Personally I'd prefer that you |
| 12 |
waited for the virtuals GLEP. See, then we could have a virtual/gettext, |
| 13 |
which does something like: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
DEPEND="sys-apps/gettext" |
| 16 |
RDEPEND=" |
| 17 |
elibc_glibc? ( virtual/glibc ) |
| 18 |
elibc_uclibc? ( sys-libs/uclibc ) |
| 19 |
elibc_bsd? ( sys-apps/gettext )" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
or whatever. One virtual. Far nicer. Anyway, whatever you decide upon, |
| 22 |
let me know so that I can get it in The Doc... |
