I asked on IRC some time ago and I was told that it's good idea to document global USE flags in metadata.xml in case description does not amend global USE flag description but specializes it. and USE=latex is there with a similar description as yours. In this case it's just redundant. -- Peter.

I would disagree here. I found considerable amount of packages in portage with less than specific Add support for XML files as USE=xml description. While it may be by someone considered *similar* to Enable XML support via libxml library, I found it more than confusing, as XML support is enabled in some packages anyway (as those packages just use only XML files for configuration), in some cases if may not be even remotely related to libxml. That being said, I would rather suggest adding always *precise* and *non- general* USE flags descriptions even for global USE flags (actually especially for them) as I usually found it pretty much necessary to look up ebuilds to get to know what does particular USE flag actually do, and I guess this should be avoided at all cost, especially when it does not cost a penny as maintainer actually already knows what's all about with those USE flags for particular package. -- regards MM signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
