The point of :* is to allow repoman to detect situations where a package has a build and a run dep upon something that has multiple slots, and to remind the developer that they either need to :=3D it, or to explicitly say that it's ok for slots to change. Without :*, there's no way to tell the difference between "the developer forgot, or slots were added in later", and "this really can switch slots at runtime". --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/6n_3/EmIz1gjNURJoUGF_2X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlBNizYACgkQ96zL6DUtXhE/EwCfTbQuygQe8y1BLJTjs8ho+L7Z TWcAn3RhcwhvuHoto2s2sMoHtuU60zi3 =pRi2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/6n_3/EmIz1gjNURJoUGF_2X--
