Description Michał Górny archtester

2016-06-18 19:36:24 UTC

:= inside || () is forbidden and broken. Please fix those deps.

Common options:

1. introduce virtuals -- if packages have sane ABI compat,

2. introduce USE flags,

3. (discouraged) drop :=.

    sci-physics/root: fix bug 586326
    
    While bug itself is of questionable validity (see parent bug 586238),
    affected dependencies have neither subslots nor multiple slots, thus
    := can be safely dropped.
