Hi dev-list,

what is the rule concerning when to introduce new virtuals?

I created an ebuild for metaocaml which is a real drop in replacement for 
the ocaml programming language allowing for metaprogramming and dynamic 
linking. Metaocaml in fact is a patched version of ocaml.
For licence reasons the patch is not available so I cannot optionally 
apply it in the ocaml ebuild.

Would you in such a case create a new virtual or just 
PROVIDE "dev-lang/ocaml" in the metaocaml ebuild ?

More information: Bug #111407

Thanks Ingo
