That's covered in the GLEP: "Note that it is still not permitted to have more than one ebuild with equal category, package name, and version. Although it would have the advantage of allowing authors to provide backwards compatible ebuilds, it would introduce problems too. The first is the requirement to have strict EAPI ordering, the second is ensuring that all the ebuilds for a single category/package-version are equivalent, i.e. installing any of them has exactly the same effect on a given system." I don't see a way to overcome these problems in a sensible way. --=20 Best Regards, Piotr Jaroszy=C5=84ski
