USE deps have been discussed many times on the gentoo-dev@ mailing list so |
| 10 |
search the archives if you want to know more about it. The syntax has been |
| 11 |
agreed on (cate-gory/pkg:use) but it still hasn't been implemented in |
| 12 |
portage. AFAIK zmedico plans to implement it in portage-2.1.3 when 2.1.2 has |
| 13 |
been stabilized. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Even after it has been implemented it won't be possible to use it in the tree |
| 16 |
without an EAPI bump. This is to avoid people who haven't yet upgraded |
| 17 |
portage from getting weird problems because it doesn't understand the |
| 18 |
syntax... Before the EAPI can be bumped to a newer version, the current |
| 19 |
version needs to be defined. spb is working on that now but it still needs to |
| 20 |
be agreed on... |
