[gentoo-dev] Policy for bugs because of use flags

[Jörg Schaible]

Hi folks,

please let me know, since when do we have a bug policy for "standard
accepted safe use flags"? I don't expect any developer to test a variety of
different use flags, but what if a user reports, that a package is
seriously broken because of a use flag? In former times a critical flag was
just filtered out in the ebuild, but why is such a thing fix now rejected ?

Note, using Gentoo with an own set of flags is one of the benefits for
Gentoo. Otherwise you can stick with prebuild distros and avoid hours of
compiling.
