Another compromise that *could* work if the installation is so structured: Split the server behaviour into its own package. games-whatever/foo + IUSE="server" games-whatever/foo-server That completely eliminates the required_use confusion. "foo" is always providing a client, and USE="server" is just a convenience that few will want. If you want a server, install "foo-server". Granted this is of course not always possible if the server and client share files, but such a solution would be high on my considerations were it me. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
