I have been using emacs-22 for a while (previously as emacs-cvs and lately as ~x86 emacs).
I recently added the emacs use flag among other changes and was surprised by the following output, specifically the dependency that gtk-doc has on virtual/emacs-21. I see in the gtk-doc ebuild the dependency on virtual/emacs. The specific RDEPEND line is emacs? ( virtual/emacs ) But where is does the -21 come from? thanks, allan # emerge --verbose --ask --deep --update --newuse --tree --color=n gimp gimp-help gimp-user-manual gimp-print These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
