Addition of any new dependency filtering criterion is a backwards incompatible change anyway. If you add, say, [fish:trout] and older versions of Portage don't recognise [fish:], there's no way for said older Portage versions to know what to do. Being able to parse additional DEPEND constructs is not sufficient. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
