Howdy all,
Further questions regarding use.desc have come up with regard to this GLEP.
My proposed solution would be a potential amendment to the GLEP to state
that
<flag name='png' />
Would be allowed. This syntax is not actually disallowed or allowed by the
current GLEP, but mentioning it would allow a metadata.xml contain all the
USE flags that appear in IUSE, even the global ones. By using the above
syntax, it would simply state that there is no additional descriptions or
details but to just use the use.desc description.
Further more, it would allow us in the future to make that mandatory and
repoman would only have to check metadata.xml for your USE flag.
Comments, Suggestions, Input are all welcome.
What is the benefit?
Regards,
There is none really. Allow all use flags to exist in metadata.xml. It's
really more of a clarification to the GLEP if this is allowed.
