I mean, use it in conjunction with ":=3D", one for rebuild and other to indicate any 2.x SLOT fits the "normal" RDEPEND (to not need to periodically update RDEPENDs or need to go back from :SLOT depends to old =3Dcategory/package-version-* ways) Allowing that, we wouldn't need ABI_SLOT (at least to prevent this issue that arises with using only SLOTs for this) --=-dmtxYMcv0+/gp5LxiO4W Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk/Q//4ACgkQCaWpQKGI+9RWFwCeKEDLE5V1Cd3m9SZj1Lo/jw8L FkUAn2fpYxt9NiBMQjrUmWiSvN4tvD47 =Dkug -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-dmtxYMcv0+/gp5LxiO4W--
