Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2017-01-25 22:55:01 UTC
Currently, --autounmask-unrestricted-atom generates >=foo-version atoms for packages that are not slotted. It would be nice to have atoms without operator and version number in this case. This mainly applies to package.use, since files like package.mask and package.accept_keywords are sensitive to version numbers, even for packages that are not slotted.
