Bug 27090 – misleading use of gtk2? () dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-developer

[Description Spider (RETIRED) 2003-08-21 20:04:17 UTC]

the current HOWTO declares this as an example:
    gtk2? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2 ) : ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )"

Which technically is well and good, but will be confusing for people who already
have trouble understanding the gtk2 flag.

perhaps a logic such as this instead:
   gtk? (
     gtk2? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2 ) : ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* ) )
Which would be a bit clearer in the actual meaning of the gtk2 flag.

It's an example for ternary usage and such. I'll search for a better example.

Patch that substitutes gtk2 with apache2 :)

Also fixed some indentation troubles (tabs and spaces).

Thanks, hopefully this clears out some of the mystique around the gtk2 USE flag :)
