Changes made and committed -- thanks!
There was one interesting observation while I was looking at the
license for the gtkspell module. gtkspell-2 is licensed GPL-2, but
gtkspell-3 (which is not yet released and has only recently picked up
a little steam upstream) is licensed LGPL-2.1. Based on this
gtkspell-python needs to be conditionally licensed based on which
version of gtkspell it is linked against (GPL-2 if against gtkspell-2,
LGPL-2.1 if against gtkspell-3).
Something like:
if has_version =dev-python/gtkspell-2*; then
LICENSE="GPL-2"
else
LICENSE="LGPL-2.1"
fi
There is currently *no* way to express this in an ebuild without
invalidating the cache. For now this is just a theoretical problem,
but worthy of consideration nonetheless.
Cheers!
