Possible. Thing is, that doesn't solve the "we can't run this test on this arch because it uses libunportablecrap for its test suite" issue. A TDEPEND with a "if we can't resolve these deps, warn and skip test on the arch in question" is one possible approach, but I don't like it enough to ask our friendly portage people about an implementation... -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
