* general-concepts/dependencies: improve explaination of slot operatorsFlorian Schmaus2022-02-211-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The section previously had hard to parse sentences like "[…] and that your package should be rebuilt if the version best matching the runtime dependency is updated to a version with a different slot or subslot" for the := operator. This commit attempts to improve the readability of the section. The change superseeds my proposed change in bug #739858. Thanks to Sam James for reviewing this. :) Signed-off-by: Florian Schmaus <flow@gentoo.org> Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/739858 Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/devmanual/pull/259 Signed-off-by: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org>

* dependencies: clarify cross-compiling and system shorthandsMike Frysinger2021-10-191-5/+12
| | | | | | | | Try and clarify that BDEPEND/DEPEND are split based on the install targets, not only when the literal $CBUILD & $CHOST values differ, and thus only when "cross-compiling" is used. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* general-concepts/dependencies: clarify strong blocker usageSam James2021-10-131-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Noticed we could be a bit clearer in the devmanual after a discussion on a PR [0]. We've had a lot of confusion over when it's appropriate to use strong blockers, so I think giving a non-abstract "example" is helpful here.

* eapi: Improve sub-slot and slot operator documentation, bug #446740Alexandre Rostovtsev2013-01-191-0/+39
| | | | | | | | | | Add sub-slots to the Slotting chapter. Update the slot name sections to match current portage versions (as noted by Arfrever). Add slot operators to the Dependencies chapter, and describe sub-slot dependencies (as suggested by Arfrever). Rephrase the slot operator documentation in the EAPI Usage chapter to be a bit more readable and a bit less PMS-like, explain sub-slot dependencies in more detail, and add brief examples.
