1 Just to illustrate the USE=gtk3 confusion, on packages I has personal
2 experience with:
3
4 app-i18n/uim
5 x11-themes/light-themes
6 --> flag provides support for gtk3 apps, in addition to gtk(2) (with
7 independent USE=gtk in uim); most users would probably want this.
8
9 gnome-base/librsvg
10 --> flag for gtk3 libraries *and* executables (independent USE=gtk; an
11 example of a package that should be slotted?)
12
13 media-sound/audacious
14 --> REQUIRED_USE="^^ ( gtk gtk3 )" with default switching from version
15 to version (current stable is gtk, previous was gtk3).
16
17 www-client/midori
18 --> USE=deprecated instead of USE=gtk3 in unstable.
19
20 www-client/uget
21 --> for once, a "simple" USE=gtk3 that enables gtk3 instead of gtk
22 (gtk3 support still experimental?)
23
24 media-libs/libcanberra
25 --> USE=gtk3 enables extra support, in addition to gtk: "Enables
26 building of gtk+3 helper library, gtk+3 runtime sound effects and the
27 canberra-gtk-play utility. To enable the gtk+3 sound effects add
28 canberra-gtk-module to the colon separated list of modules in the
29 GTK_MODULES environment variable." — very unclear: is it needed?
30 recommended? also, why doesn't the package handle the environment
31 variable by itself?
