Ah, that's true, because PMS constraints (and /var/db/pkg layout) force foo-1:b to replace foo-1:a despite the difference in SLOT. For the purposes of readme.gentoo.eclass though, the difference seems negligible (foo-1:a and foo-1:b are likely to have mostly identical README.gentoo content). -- Thanks, Zac
