Re: [gentoo-user] ebuild syntax question
2009/4/1 Helmut Jarausch jarau...@igpm.rwth-aachen.de: Hi, dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.4.1.ebuild from layman/java-overlay contains CDEPEND=. =dev-java/tomcat-servlet-api-5.5.25-r1:2.4 What does that mean? I have dev-java/tomcat-servlet-api-6.0.18 installed in the 2.5 slot. But portage wants to emerge tomcat-servlet-api-5.5.27 which is masked by me (I have masked all tomcat-servlet-api-6) Does the '=' apply to the version only or to the slot, as well? Afaik this means any version greater or equal than 5.5.25-r1 which is in the 2.4 slot of dev-java/tomcat-servlet-api satisfies the dependency. -- Regards, Daniel

octave? ( dev-lang/swig[octave] )
What does dev-lang/swig[python] mean?
Since dev-lang/swig/swig-1.3.39 does not
use the useflags 'python', etc, anymore,
emerging sci-libs/mathgl tries to downgrade to
swig-1.3.36 which gives conflict elsewhere.
Do I really need to mask swig-1.3.36 or
is sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild too old?
Many thanks for a hint.
(Should I generate a bug report?)
Yes, this is a bug and should be reported.
if you need it installed right now, copy the ebuild to your overlay, edit out
the wrong USE flag specifiers in DEPEND, digest the ebuild and install. Or you
could walk for the devs to fix it and resync

IMHO this is one drawdack of EAPI 2 use dependencies. The ebuilds
needs a package with a particular use flag but some versions of said
package do not use this flag and portage gets in trouble. So this is
clearly a bug.
I am not sure but a fix would be something like this:
python? || ( =dev-lang/swig-1.3.39 dev-lang/swig-1.3.39[python] )
