It seems to me to be an attempt to move what is obviously the package manager's job into the tree, and making it far more complex than it needs to be in the process. The necessary metadata is already in ebuilds, and has even been changed to a more depend-like syntax for exactly the purpose of making license handling easier; why duplicate it in so many places? The necessary package manager support isn't even all that difficult, so "it's not yet been implemented" seems like a poor excuse for offloading the work onto every single developer instead. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
