A CPV is used in other places when a specific version is required, for example in package.provided. I guess people aren't that familiar with the term as it's mostly an API thing, on the user-interface side (or ebuild-interface side) one generally doesn't deal with CPVs. Basically an atom is a selector that returns a list of CPVs, and by prefixing a CPV with an operator you get an atom, but they are still completely separate things. Maybe that helps to clear some of the confusion. -- Marius Mauch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
