it depends on the information that the function acts upon ... if the results depend on stuff that is installed (i.e. things in /var/db/pkg) or env vars the user manipulates (like $SOME_FOO), then that's bad ... if the results depend on a variable that changes across ebuilds but retains the same value in a specific ebuild (like $PN or $PV), that is OK -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
