Hi everyone, As you all know, it's somewhat annoying when a version bump in a package such as xorg-server triggers a need to rebuild reverse dependencies, and it would be really great if we could automate this.
We already have something that's very close to a solution in EAPI 3, called the 'operator slot dependency' [1], but it doesn't quite fit. It would be nice if we could tweak the spec to handle this case. If you're interested in helping to flesh out this idea, please see my comment about this on bug #192319: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192319#c10 [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273625#c3 -- Thanks, Zac
