Needless to say it would save quite a few users from needlessly rebuilding a few packages. That's green thinking. :) JeR -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I think the reasoning is that whilst there may be a future problem, there currently isn't. If it gets changed to gnome-keyring, it will definitely requires all the users of the keyring USE flag to change it. ~ We could save them that hassle until there is actually a conflict? It's just a design decision, either we do, or we don't, but I don't think it's too big a deal. Depends if we want to be strictly correct, or delay a small headache for our users?

That's unlikely to happen. When a program needs 'keyring' for
something else, the maintainer will see that 'keyring' is used for
'gnome-keyring' and will choose another name ('foo-keyring').

If we know there may be a future problem, why make the next *VALID* addition perform extra work? This is gnome specific feature, should have gnome explicit mark. If we have keyring in KDE, or keyring in kernel or any other "generic" keyring. The extra work should be done now, so we have less conflict in future. Alon ���^�X��� ��(��&j)b�b�

Only in case there are other packages which use a 'keyring' use flag which means something else than support for gnome-keyring. I'd say we should convert it to a global use flag now with a good description and change it to gnome-keyring later in case we really have a package which needs 'keyring' for something else. -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
