I think this is orthogonal to the discussion. If ffmpeg had a local |
| 8 |
description of bindist, |
| 9 |
# equery u ffmpeg |
| 10 |
would output an explanation -- and I believe this is the most common |
| 11 |
way to check USE-flags on beforehand. |

Yes, but you will never be made aware of the issue. |

Yes, but why not? What is it with this constraint that makes it |
| 25 |
inherently not re-distributable unless it is satisfied? |

That would satisfy the *what* of a local bindist. If you are able to |
| 30 |
satisfy the *why* as well, that would be nice. |
