So that's either because of an ebuild bug (incorrect DEPEND) or an upstream bug (e.g. incorrect PKG_CONFIG_CHECK in configure.ac), right? It seems to me that waiting (random()=30) days and then testing against (random()=current-version) libbaz in stable isn't amazing. :) The ebuild bug could be detected automatically for upstreams using configure.ac and maybe also cmake. The upstream bug, well, that's a bit more tricky. I'll try to write a thoughtful response in the other part of this thread later. Gotta run now. Thanks everyone for your insights! //Peter
