Even this is wrong because: betelge...@pena ~ $ portageq metadata / ebuild sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5-r10 IUSE nls For most packages old versions are not kept around so just doing >=cat/foo-X.Y[use] is fine and EAPI 3 is not needed. I haven't come across a case that couldn't be done with EAPI 2 yet. Granted the atoms can be a bit cleaner with EAPI 3 but considering how much zmedico slacks in implementing it, it's best to do migrating now with EAPI 2 than EAPI 3 in the far future.
