Since portage has explicit support for slots, both simple
dependencies ("pkgA just needs apache installed and does not care
about the version") and slightly more complex ones ("pkgB needs
python version greater than 2.5 installed") are quite easily
achieved. Not sure how this would work with IPS with version numbers
in the package names.
Venky.
