Ok, first it's not about paludis,portage,pkgcore,whatever but about the ebuild-format. Paludis also fails if you have DEPEND="cat/foo[moo]" in bar-0.1.ebuild but cat/foo doesn't have a "moo" USE flag.
So, please let's focus on the problems we have and try to find a solution. Please fill in the blanks in the table if you know how portage has it implemented. And I used the word "fast" because people start to use use-dependencies on a larger scale leading to more problems like the one I described in the example. In fact, you could already say that for git the dep-tree is broken because newer subversion doesn't carry the "dso" USE flag anymore. > Is there some kind of time deadline here > that you all want? Well, 2 weeks discussion and 1 month implementation would be cool.
