Not for what I'm suggesting- I'm suggesting just using use dep syntax for package.use.mask. You've already got the code for the masking in your patch now, all you have to do is just change the parsing a bit. > It > seems to me that we'd also have to implement use-dep matching in > order to correctly support use-dep syntax. If you were actually supporting use deps, yes. You're not however- package.use.mask is just a kludge in the (hopefully short) interim. I'm suggesting that you think a bit forward- use use-dep syntax for it now rather then having to change it down the line. ~harring
