It's more explicit than that. Sections that apply only to a particular EAPI or group of EAPIs are marked as such. So we can do things like: (common stuff about dep specs) (fancy sidebar EAPI-1, EAPI-2) stuff about slot deps (fancy sidebar EAPI-0 only) stuff that only EAPI-0 is allowed to use > Also, as a leading dev to a (for a? on a? i've spent too long in > Japan :/) "not an official Gentoo project" package manager, I hope > you realize the danger of not having explicit versions of the > document.

That one's solved by a nice little bit of magic that automatically sticks in a "Generated" note on the title page. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis, the secure package manager : http://paludis.pioto.org/
