If you had a look at the php ebuild (just because we took it as example |
| 6 |
here), you'd see that it is a bit more complicated than just enabling |
| 7 |
everything to have everything tested. |

He can't. That's what we're saying. Nobody said we can, nor do, nor want to. |

You have heard the real solution for the specific problems you pointed |
| 17 |
out: File a bug. You have also heard why it is impossible to guarantee |
| 18 |
that it simply works. |

man portage: |

|
| 27 |
package.use |
| 28 |
Per-package USE flags. Useful for tracking local USE |
| 29 |
flags or for enabling USE flags for certain packages |
| 30 |
only. Perhaps you develop GTK and thus you want documen- |
| 31 |
tation for it, but you don't want documentation for QT. |
| 32 |
Easy as pie my friend! |

Format: |
| 35 |
- comments begin with # |
| 36 |
- one DEPEND atom per line with space-delimited USE flags |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Example: |
| 39 |
# turn on docs for GTK 2.x |
| 40 |
=x11-libs/gtk+-2* doc |
| 41 |
# disable mysql support for QT |
| 42 |
x11-libs/qt -mysql |
