Well, the subject really says it all. On bug #89056 it seems to be thought
that the duplication is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm not sure this is
such a great idea myself, since if the USE flag needs a separate description
for a package, it means that the behaviour from that flag could be
PROFILE_ARCH is currently used for various sub-architectures (e.g.
sparc32 vs sparc64, 32 bit ppc vs ppc64, xbox vs normal x86) that don't
have their own keyword but that do occasionally need special behaviour.
It can be used in conditionals, but because no-one ever quite got
around to it, it

For this ebuild, lower than 1000.

Indeed.

Indeed.
So maybe use a precomputed table of primes 1000 ?

After discussing it with Simon Stelling (blubb), I decided to put the
code into the ebuild directly for now. Since this is experimental stuff,
that's no problem for now. The code will be moved to an eclass

Hello all,
I believe that rc.conf contains many values that could be put into
conf.d. For example, DISPLAYMANAGER and KEYMAP. DISPLAYMANAGER could
be put into conf.d/xdm. Then, this variable would not exist with a
non-X environment, and configuration could be more modularized.
