<title>REQUIRED_USE supports new at-most-one-of operator</title>
<para>
The new at-most-one-of operator consists of the string '??',
and is satisfied if zero or one (but no more) of its child
elements is matched.

<section id='package-ebuild-eapi-5-metadata-slot-sub-slot'>
<title>SLOT supports optional "sub-slot" part</title>
<para>
The SLOT variable may contain an optional sub-slot part that
follows the regular slot and is delimited by a / character.
The sub-slot must be a valid slot name. The sub-slot is used
to represent cases in which an upgrade to a new version of a
package with a different sub-slot may require dependent
packages to be rebuilt. When the sub-slot part is omitted from
the SLOT definition, the package is considered to have an
implicit sub-slot which is equal to the regular slot.

<section id='package-ebuild-eapi-5-metadata-dependency-atom-slot-operators'>
<title>Dependency atom slot operators</title>
<para>
A slot dependency may contain an optional sub-slot part that
follows the regular slot and is delimited by a / character.
An operator slot dependency consists of a colon followed by
one of the following operators:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
* Indicates that any slot value is acceptable. In addition,
for runtime dependencies, indicates that the package will not
break if the matched package is uninstalled and replaced by
a different matching package in a different slot.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
= Indicates that any slot value is acceptable. In addition,
for runtime dependencies, indicates that the package will
break unless a matching package with slot and sub-slot equal
to the slot and sub-slot of the best installed version at the
time the package was installed is available.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
slot= Indicates that only a specific slot value is acceptable,
and otherwise behaves identically to the plain equals slot
operator.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
To implement the equals slot operator, the package manager
will need to store the slot/sub-slot pair of the best installed
version of the matching package. This syntax is only for package
manager use and must not be used by ebuilds. The package manager
may do this by inserting the appropriate slot/sub-slot pair
between the colon and equals sign when saving the package's
dependencies. The sub-slot part must not be omitted here
(when the SLOT variable omits the sub-slot part, the package
is considered to have an implicit sub-slot which is equal to
the regular slot).

<title>Profile IUSE Injection</title>
<para>
IUSE_EFFECTIVE is a variable calculated from IUSE and
a variety of other sources described below. It is purely
a conceptual variable; it is not exported to the ebuild
environment.  Values in IUSE_EFFECTIVE may legally be
used in queries about an ebuild's state (for example, for use
dependencies, for the use function, and for use in dependency
specification conditional blocks).
</para>
<para>
For EAPIs that support profile defined IUSE injection, IUSE_EFFECTIVE
contains the following values:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
All values in the calculated IUSE value.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
All values in the profile IUSE_IMPLICIT variable.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
All values in the profile variable named USE_EXPAND_VALUES_${v},
where ${v} is any value in the intersection of the profile
USE_EXPAND_UNPREFIXED and USE_EXPAND_IMPLICIT variables.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
All values for ${lower_v}_${x}, where ${x} is all values in
the profile variable named USE_EXPAND_VALUES_${v}, where ${v}
is any value in the intersection of the profile USE_EXPAND and
USE_EXPAND_IMPLICIT variables and ${lower_v} is the lowercase
equivalent of ${v}.

<title>Profile stable USE forcing and masking</title>
<para>
In profile directories with an EAPI supporting stable masking,
new USE configuration files are supported: use.stable.mask,
use.stable.force, package.use.stable.mask and
package.use.stable.force. These files behave similarly to
previously supported USE configuration files, except that they
only influence packages that are merged due to a stable keyword.
