Hello all,

There is a discepancy in the way that mm-sources and development-sources 
handles virtual/alsa. Have a look:

bash-2.05b$ grep alsa /usr/portage/sys-kernel/development-sources/
development-sources-2.6.0_beta5-r11.ebuild
IUSE="alsa"
[ -n "$(use alsa)" ] && PROVIDE="${PROVIDE} virtual/alsa"

bash-2.05b$ grep alsa /usr/portage/sys-kernel/mm-sources/
mm-sources-2.6.0_beta5-r4.ebuild
                virtual/alsa"

In other words, development-sources will provide virtual/alsa only if the use 
flag is set when it is emerged. mm-sources, however, will provide virtual/
alsa regardless. Which is the correct behaviour?

Personally, I think mm-sources is the better option. The reason being if a 
user decides to use alsa after emerging development-sources by adding alsa to 
the use flags, portage will see no virtual/alsa and try and pull in 
alsa-driver.

Any opinions before I post a bug?

Regards,
Jason
