2008-01-02 Thread Santiago M. Mola
Hi, A lot of people have complaints about the quality of USE flag descriptions, so let's see if we can improve them a bit. This a list of some descriptions which could be improved. Some are just stupid things like trailing dot (not a bad thing, but most of them doesn't have one) and some others

Hi, masking out the dependency with /etc/portage/profile is not a problem, but why is it needed? Why is there the dependency on man-pages in diffutils? I think this question is not related to embedded, it's about a wrong dependency of a system-package. More people could hit this when they
