Subject: Should "server" be a global use flag?
Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 10:26:49 -0400
Hi all,

I was looking at use.desc/use.local.desc to see if the "server" flag is
global or not.  I was surprised to see that it is not.  There are 26
packages that use a local "server" flag and they all say something to
the effect "Enable ${PN} server support".

Should we not promote this to global with a description

    server - Enable the packages server component

If yes, what's the procedure?  We'd have to have a lot of metadata.xml's
change.  I'm not sure what happens if you simultaneously have a local
and global USE flag by the same name (although I'm going to test in a
minute on an overlay :)
