Description Michał Górny archtester

|| ( >=dev-libs/json-c-0.11:= >=dev-libs/libfastjson-0.99.2:= )

Using := inside || () is disallowed and broken. Even if it weren't, the dependency would still be incorrect since the two libraries don't collide with each other and liblognorm prefers libfastjson over json-c.

Two possible solutions are:

1. Add USE flag to toggle between the two, and ensure the flag status is respected (would require some hackery),

2. Just depend on libfastjson and ignore json-c. liblognorm is only used by rsyslog and sagan, and rsyslog requires libfastjson anyway.
