This is not a bug in PMS. PMS accurately reflected the Portage documentation at the time it was written and at the time it was approved. In addition, there was no real world use of this feature so there was no grounds to consider making it part of the specification despite it being undocumented. Thus, the way PMS was written was correct. What you are asking for would be like retroactively updating the HTML 4 specification to mandate a particular undocumented quirk of Internet Explorer 6's behaviour. The correct way to proceed is to use EAPI 4 to move this to be a specified feature, and to permit it only for profiles marked as using EAPI 4. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/YMze/7CZWrxNpq8ydC1qtca Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkqPFcEACgkQ96zL6DUtXhG/QQCeINqKysIdhSlAddcsY//qO1Er doEAoINVrhGv5s3D34hHLfZ696Wj+HtU =gint -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/YMze/7CZWrxNpq8ydC1qtca--
