The specification for empty groups was originally added to match |
4 |
historical Portage behaviour. However, Portage was changed in 2011 |
5 |
to treat empty dependency groups as an error, therefore ebuilds cannot |
6 |
rely on any definite behaviour. Consequently, empty groups are not used |
7 |
by any ebuild or eclass in the Gentoo repository. |
8 |
|
9 |
Note that the explicit handling for empty groups is still retained for |
10 |
the case of implicit empty groups resulting from collapsing USE |
11 |
conditionals in any-of groups et al. |
12 |
|
13 |
This is a retroactive change for all EAPIs. |
