4 Hi.
5
6 During the course of bug 280312[1], we (KDE team) made the pm-utils
7 support in powerdevil optional based on a use flag. Although hal was
8 already using the "laptop" use flag for similar support, we decided to
9 use the "pm-utils" use flag as wicd was already doing. The decision was
10 based on the dislike for the laptop use flag by most of the people
11 discussing this issue in #gentoo-dev at that point.
12 As these packages are using these flags to enable support for
13 suspend/resume through the sys-power/pm-utils package, we should pick
14 one name for that flag and apply it on all packages. Raúl (armin76) has
15 also suggested in #gentoo-dev[2] that we should mask the use flag
16 globally and only unmask it on arches that support it.
17 Any suggestions for the use flag name? If not, which use flag would you
18 prefer? Any objections to mask the use flags globally as Raúl suggested?

21 [2] - 2009/08/16-16:50 <@armin76> i think both laptop and pm-utils
22 should be masked globally and then unmasked on arches that can run it
