I was trying to emerge ansible and it kept trying to bring in Qt4 despite me hard masking it Seems qtconsole has the following dependency || ( dev-python/pyside[${PYTHON_USEDEP},svg] dev-python/PyQt5[${PYTHON_USEDEP},svg] dev-python/PyQt4[${PYTHON_USEDEP},svg] ) This prefers pyside and tries to pull in Qt4, is there a better way of splitting this up? Perhaps with qt4/5 use flags
Portage prefers the left-most option by default, so it shouldn't try to pull in pyside if you hard masked it (or did you just hard mask qt4 itself?) At a minimum, I'd suggest we reorder that clause to prefer PyQt5. I certainly won't complain if someone removes the Qt 4 pyside/PyQt4 options though.
I didn't hard mask no, it took a while for me to figure out what what pulling it in though. I wrongly suspected packages with qt4 in them as portage kept trying to add qt4 use flags to phonon in my package.use Ansible was pulling in 80+ packages
Just to me clear I had -qt4 in my make.conf
