Hello everyone, would someone more competent explain to me, why
- this feature even exists - why has a mass of things been commited in there recently ? It's - confusing users - rendering /etc/portage/package.keywords useless (install a dep for one particular ebuild and enjoy the USE flag enabled globally) - causing unwanted results (I did not really install app-text/recode for the purpose of enabling USE=recode globally and make it clash with half of php USE flags e.g.) - causing pointless breakage/bailing out in current ebuilds for users that have not touched USE flags on their system at all Related links: http://viewcvstest.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/profiles/base/use.defaults?r1=1.22&r2=1.23 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112074 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86687#c7 Suggested solution: remove use.defaults feature from portage; meanwhile, stop adding stuff in there. It gains nothing, just confuses people and breaks things. Thanks. -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
