On the contrary, the reverse of what you say is true. A simple grep of the tree showed that: 95 ebuilds do "use\ \([a-zA-Z0-9]\+\).*\&\&.*built_with_use.*\ \1\ " and 937 do "use.*\&\&.*built_with_use" So, one would assume that ~842 ebuilds could make use of the pkg[foo?bar] syntax. Of course, this missed the ebuilds which do if use blah; then built_with_use ... ... fi But statistically, these numbers should be accurate. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan
