I'd say it depends on whether we want to support native_built_with_use just as a temporary workaround until there are use deps (then just package managers not using vdb would implement it, and portage need not care), or we would want to use the general metadata query also for other purposes. Anyway, restricting ebuilds from vdb access sounds like a good idea to me= =2E --=20 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) Gentoo/Java --------------enigC148DD96471828D66D4A7550 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHqVQOtbrAj05h3oQRAl8ZAJ0cG5Q1LjBvCxJ8bA9nDFuSJg9ZWwCghdJw Ynj928c1sD/3BZ5wKfhw9RA= =WvjL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC148DD96471828D66D4A7550-- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
