One USE flag I remember in particular bothering me was |
21 |
gnome-extra/gnome-games' guile USE flag. |
22 |
|
23 |
The global description says "guile - Adds support for the guile Scheme |
24 |
interpreter" but this flag is actually determines whether a number of |
25 |
games are installed by this package. |
26 |
|
27 |
There are lots of cases like this that need a local use flag that says |
28 |
what each flag actually does for the package. |
