The examples he gave were of flags that should be enabled by default for every package that uses them. Even if that's just one or two packages, there's no reason not to put them in global defaults.
That's one way. I know some folks prefer it, and there's nothing wrong with doing so. Personally, I prefer to keep the global USE down to a minimum, and tweak each package's USE flags via /etc/portage/package.use. I find it helps ensure that what gets installed onto a box is much closer to what you intended. My personal experience is that it makes boxes a little easier to support as a result, because less installed packages == less to go wrong. Best regards, Stu -- -- [email protected] mailing list
