Sounds good.
b) Keep use.local.desc as it is: a list of per-package flags that are
specific to one to a few ebuilds (i think 5 is the number though i think 10
is more appropriate, but that's not relevant to this discussion). Again,
each has a short description.
Also fine.
c) Allow flags from use.desc to also exist in use.local.desc. In the case
that a flag for a package exists in both, the use.local.desc description
overrides the use.desc one. This allows a more specific per-package
description of global flags.
Still doing alright :)
d) Allow long descriptions in a package's metadata.xml, as some have begun
to do already, for cases where more info is needed. For example I'd like
to explain exactly what the bindist flag on freetype does and what legal
implications disabling it can have.
Why can't this be done in use.local.desc?
My expectation is that `grep "flag" use.local.desc` will give me a list of
packages using that flag (or having it in the description), one per line.
Putting paragraphs in there doesn't seem right.
