a global USE flag duplicated in use.local.desc could be used to give specific information about exactly what effect the flag has on a certain package, or if for some reason it does differ slightly from the global meaning. global use flags (searching: doc) ************************************************************ [- ] doc - Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc) local use flags (searching: doc) ************************************************************ [- ] doc (app-examples/fakeapp): Build user manuals in PDF format (requires ps2pdf) it's been mentioned before but i don't think anyone jumped on the idea. i personally don't care either way, just wanted to bring it up while it's on topic. ;P --de. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
