ebuilds generally don't do this, because it is bad. What you have and |
| 10 |
what you want aren't necessarily the same thing. Consider: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
* You don't yet have any gtk installed |
| 13 |
* You have gtk2 but actually *want* the gtk3 version, so you want |
| 14 |
the ebuild to pull in gtk3 (or vice versa) |
| 15 |
* You have both gtk2 and gtk3 installed. |
| 16 |
* You have gtk installed, but don't want gtk support for a |
| 17 |
particular package (if gtk support is optional for that |
| 18 |
package). |
