So if we are lucky, on old versions of portage, portage.isvalidatom will report the USE-dep as an invalid atom and portage will print mean errors messages about 'invalid news items' but will not throw up (in theory). > >>> run: emerge --oneshot $(qlist -IC kde-base/) >> >> Is it guaranteed that your users have portage-utils installed? >> Otherwise the qlist command may not be available. >> > > I had thought that we depended on this, but I was mistaken (the > dependency was pulled in via pambase).

The GLEP does not make any meantion as to whether it is legal to use USE dependencies here. I have, however, tested with portage and portage itself Does The Right Thing when faced with a USE dep in Display-If-Installed. >> run: emerge --oneshot $(qlist -IC kde-base/) > > Is it guaranteed that your users have portage-utils installed? > Otherwise the qlist command may not be available. > I had thought that we depended on this, but I was mistaken (the dependency was pulled in via pambase).

But we wouldn't know if users have the updated portage version installed, so it doesn't help for the current news item. I think for a proper solution we would have to increase the number of the News-Item-Format. Maybe even add a new header field for the EAPI. Ulrich
