Hi,
I'd like to propose a new kind of DEPEND syntax: <> This would mean "Any version but the one specified" and is usefull when you have a dependency on another package but a single version of it is not compatible for example. I currently have this case in app-backup/obnam which is not compatible to =dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 In DEPEND I now have this: !=dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 || ( <dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 >dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 ) which does the trick, but I think much more straight forward would be: <>dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 which would be the exact opposite of =dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 An alternate syntax would be (but I'd prefer the former): !=dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 What do you think and would is the proper way to suggest this for a new EAPI? A new bug? On what? TIA -Marc -- 0x35A64134 - 8AAC 5F46 83B4 DB70 8317 3723 296C 6CCA 35A6 4134
