whats the problem then ? the user shouldnt have to download all the files in SRC_URI if his USE flags wont need some of it SRC_URI="foo.tar.bz2 bar? ( bar.tar.bz2 )" a user with USE=-bar should not have to download bar.tar.bz2 ... if they do, it's a portage bug ... fix portage, dont make ebuilds ugly -mike
