Agreed. I'm a user, and when I say "USE=ffmpeg", I want to get the actual package called ffmpeg, not something that looks like ffmpeg but might be a fork. I especially don't want to disable the alternate package to get the original pre-fork package. I support the idea of re-defining the USE flags even if it means once-off temporary pain. That's far better than having to deal with the existing method forever. Plus, user bug reports will never stop. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
