This thread can end. ciaranm provided an example yesterday and his case is pretty much for c++ templates and the cases I'm making are for things like (example thats no longer valid) wireless-tools pulling in linux headers and or source into a $ROOT via $RDEPEND due some eclass. INSTALL_MASK was created for embedded systems by iggy to partially deal with this sorta problem. It helps but it's not the end all solution. -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
