You simply cannot express this via slot | dependencies, so this feature is useless for KDE packages.
You solve this either by SLOTting bar and making each bar SLOT use a SLOT dep upon KDE, or by using USE flags and [use]:slot deps. | > The existing syntax is just as extensible.

I prefer clean data | structures. The proposed syntax is cleaner than shoving arbitrary stuff inside [bleh]. Any new [role:] tags will require an EABI bump anyway, so there's no reason to stick to your proposed syntax to avoid future backwards compatibility breaks. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
