Kinda like the GNOME herd does themselves? I've pointed this one out a |
17 |
few times just cause it annoys me... gnome-mount has USE=gnome... |
18 |
well... DUH! it's a gnome-volume-manager specific and GNOME Desktop |
19 |
specific wrapper for HAL based mounting. Obviously it's used by GNOME |
20 |
and only does and can function within a GNOME Destkop environment. But |
21 |
what does this USE flag mean? Oh, it simply means you want to build the |
22 |
Nautilus extension! Do we already have a USE=nautilus? Yes, yes we do. |
23 |
It's a local USE flag used in 3 packages, 2 of those 3 are GNOME herd |
24 |
packages. |
25 |
|
26 |
Either way, the Gentopia copies of gnome-mount continue to use a |
27 |
nautilus USE flag. Maybe someday, the light will shine. |

Since body language and tone do 90% of speaking and words only do 10%, I |
30 |
would like to just point out that the sarcasm of this e-mail is |
31 |
intentional but not meant to be insulting. It's merely a point |
32 |
highlighting the fact that a non-GNOME herd member made a request that |
33 |
the GNOME herd should make and the herd should stick to. |
