Fwiw I liked the := dep specification, just like I liked labelled deps. I
don't see those as 'inventions' ofc, since they merely duplicate what
others have been doing for years, but feel free to think of yourself as the
great innovator, toiling away in your lab, misunderstood by the unwashed
masses (one day they'll be sorry..) And you wonder that I considered your
prior post some sort of claim?

/me suddenly understands why so many Gentoo devs won't use gmane.
