as a reminder, NEVER utilize USE=pic in your package unless you know exactly |
2 |
what it's for and you're sure you need it ... a quick `grep -Rl ^IUSE=.*pic` |
3 |
of the tree shows a bunch of ebuilds which appear to be misusing it: |
4 |
app-admin/amanda |
5 |
app-text/djvu |
6 |
media-libs/guilib |
7 |
media-libs/libvisual |
8 |
media-tv/tvtime |
9 |
media-video/avidemux |
10 |
net-im/silc-plugin |
11 |
|
12 |
packages which just straight up suck at life wrt PIC handling: |
13 |
net-mail/uw-imap |
14 |
net-mail/checkpassword |
15 |
(anyone who just has 'append-flags -fPIC' because it 'worked') |
16 |
|
17 |
fix your packages people or i'll fix you ! |
18 |
|
19 |
to prevent this in the future, perhaps i'll move USE=pic into use.local.desc |
20 |
so that people stop thinking it's OK to use normally ... or maybe i'll revise |
21 |
the description with 'dont touch this flag unless you know what you are |
22 |
doing' ... thoughts ? |
