Hi there. |

I just happend to emerge evince and, after half an hour got the |

following error: |

I understand why this happend, and I know how to solve it. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
My point is: should the RDEPEND and DEPEND syntax in ebuilds be changed |
| 35 |
so that this kind of problems can be detected before emerging? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Here's an example. Imagine program A depends on B, and if A is built |
| 38 |
with use flag "dvi", then it depends on C to be built with use flag |
| 39 |
dvi2. The following could be A's DEPEND: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
DEPEND="dvi? ([dvi2 C]) |
| 42 |
B" |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
This is just an example, and I'm sure there's a different syntax that |
| 45 |
could be more appropriate. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
What do you this of it? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Is there any ongoing implementation to solve it in a different way? |
| 50 |

Cheers, |
