I don't really see how that would help much, if anything, I get the |
| 5 |
impression that would |

|

1) needlessly install "b" even when it could be satisfied by a instead |
| 8 |
( ie: before both a & b are installed ) |
| 9 |
2) be more inclined to keep a than it currently does |
| 10 |
3) Probably not help in the situation I had above with |

=perl-core/Module-Metadata-1.0.6 ( stable , 1.0.9 is masked by ~ still ) |
| 13 |
=virtual/perl-Module-Metadata-1.0.9 ( --autounmasked from ~ ) |
| 14 |
=dev-lang/perl-5.16.0 ( --autounmasked from ~ ) |

As after installing perl-5.16.0, the || ( ) is again satisfied, |
| 18 |
rending the system somewhat broken, but having to wait for --depclean |
| 19 |
before it comes right. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
But I'm possibly wrong somewhere, I may have fundamentally |
| 22 |
misunderstood how || ( ) works. |

That's probably the most difficult task of all, I think you'd have to |
| 28 |
shred modules out of perl and hand package them into perl-core/ |
| 29 |
packages for that, and then never install them as part of perl, |
| 30 |
despite the fact some of perl won't even build without some of those |
| 31 |
modules in its tree ( so you have to remove them during install ), and |
| 32 |
thats the start of all sorts of fun bootstrapping things I wont touch |
| 33 |
dipped head-to-toe in antiseptic. |
