why not change ? as you say, it's always been confusing and it still is confusing ... i know every single ebuild i've ever produced/maintained uses the logic gtk==gtk1 and gtk2==gtk2. i've made a lot of ebuilds ;) perhaps it isnt as costly as it may seem to move to a gtk1 and a gtk2 USE flag system ... -mike -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
