Sure. But imagine the following (well, if you can't imagine, have a look at dev-lang/R): - The package can be built with or without X11 support - if it was built with X11 support, it needs a working $DISPLAY during the "test" phase. If you want to have a working "make test" for the package built with X11 support, you need to use virtualx. If you build the package without X11 support, you currently get virtual/x11 nevertheless, since the ebuild inherits from virtualx.eclass which has a hard-coded DEPEND on it. Do you see a different solution? Bye, Patrick
