Different packaging for different versions of the same package (Oracle database instantclient) is a wrong thing. Please, reconfigure legacy Oracle 10 and 11 clients (dev-db/oracle-instantclient-*) in new slotted and use-handled style like dev-db/oracle-instantclient:0/12.1
To the best of my knowledge different packaging is not forbidden and is sometimes easier to maintain.

Could you provide an example how to describe Oracle client application dependencies, when it could be built both with Oracle 11 client and Oracle 12 client? And they are packaged in different way.

Starikoff from comment #2) > Could you provide an example how to describe Oracle client application > dependencies, when it could be built both with Oracle 11 client and Oracle > 12 client? > And they are packaged in different way. There is the OR operator in dependencies: RDEPEND="|| ( dev-db/oracle-instantclient dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic )" and for specific subparts, e.g. odbc: RDEPEND="|| dev-db/oracle-instantclient[odbc] dev-db/oracle-instantclient-odbc )" Nevertheless: Do you have a specific need for the old 10 and 11 Client versions, given that even the 12 Client version should be able to connect to 10 and 11 Server versions? Otherwise I would like to get rid of the 10 and 11 Client versions, keeping the redirecting oracle-instantclient-basic-12.ebuild during the migration only.

Ping. Any update on this? It would let us clean up EAPI 4 ebuilds (dev-db/oracle-instantclient*).
The prerequisite here is to stabilize the newer version in the single package, followed by the migration of revdeps to the new naming scheme. In the attempt (just before my holidays) to file the stabilization request I realized they updated their license, which _may_ allow to drop the fetch restriction now, and then ran out of time additionally required to figure out details about how to deal with that license update.
