So SLOT depends should be able to replace the need for =3D and ~ and < and <=3D dependencies entirely.

The existing syntax is just as extensible. Up the EABI revision, and start adding new syntax as needed. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Sig_6swCl/mkYZ2CwGjQ3SoS+EX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDsFJz96zL6DUtXhERAt2HAKCxHtOgAhSLaSobpM8x4GVFlJ4nHwCgoV+b VENpemtKGWcZxaFThGcyHVY= =l59G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_6swCl/mkYZ2CwGjQ3SoS+EX-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
