The syntax has been agreed on (cate-gory/pkg:use) but it still hasn't been implemented in portage. AFAIK zmedico plans to implement it in portage-2.1.3 when 2.1.2 has been stabilized. Even after it has been implemented it won't be possible to use it in the tree without an EAPI bump. This is to avoid people who haven't yet upgraded portage from getting weird problems because it doesn't understand the syntax... Before the EAPI can be bumped to a newer version, the current version needs to be defined. spb is working on that now but it still needs to be agreed on... -- Bo Andresen pgpbXN4PfndLx.pgp Description: PGP signature

It would be beneficial to everyone if we knew the dependencies before emerging from portage.I highly suggest sending a message on gentoo-dev@gentoo.org (confirm this). I really do support this.
