Hi all, I was suggested to make use of app-text/aspell in addition to app-text/ispell for app-editors/emacs-cvs (Bug #28527) and wrote the following code: DEPEND="spell? ( || ( app-text/ispell app-text/aspell ) )" '|| ( bar buz )' is considered to be a DEPEND atom so that 'foo? || ( bar buz )' will also be a valid DEPEND atom. However, it doesn't work as I expected: rico% epm -qG ispell package ispell is not installed rico% epm -qG aspell app-text/aspell-0.50.3 rico% emerge -pv emacs-cvs These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-21.3.50 +X +nls +gtk +gtk2 -Xaw3d -gnome +spell rico% emerge -upv emacs-cvs These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] app-text/ispell-3.2.06-r5 [ebuild N ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-21.3.50 +X +nls +gtk +gtk2 -Xaw3d -gnome +spell It will still insist on installing ispell even when aspell is installed if you pass -u or -U flag to emerge. emacs-cvs is expected to not install ispell regardless of -uU flags if aspell has been already installed.
