I agree with the direction, when one includes the per-package env bit. >> This is totally useless IMHO until you can set it on a per-package level, > > bashrc hacks can add insert FEATURES on a per package basis until proper > portage support is in place, but unlike the previous bashrc suggestion, this > is a stop gap, not the correct, solution > > i'm willing to forgo this (imo) minor aspect in favor of cutting the > unreliable USE=debug from the tree I'm not. But I will agree that this is the correct direction. Once both parts of the puzzle are in place, then I will support cutting USE=debug -- but not until one can reproduce its functionality sans hacks. No point in replacing one hack with another. Thanks, Donnie
